Embed continuously updated intelligence on wildfires, floods, earthquakes, tropical cyclones, tsunamis, landslides, volcanic activity, and other hazards threatening communities and critical infrastructure.
DisasterAWARE combines authoritative government reporting, satellite observations, scientific models, and proprietary analytics to detect emerging events, track their evolution, and enrich geographic hazard footprints.
From wildfire perimeters and flood inundation to earthquake shaking intensity and tropical cyclone wind fields, our intelligence enables emergency management and humanitarian applications to visualize developing threats and identify potentially exposed communities, infrastructure, and operational areas.
Integrate Global Severe Weather & Human-Induced Threat Intelligence
Access authoritative national meteorological warnings integrated across 130+ countries, alongside observed severe weather conditions and supported human-induced threat intelligence.
DisasterAWARE standardizes and enriches warnings covering severe storms, damaging winds, hail, heavy rainfall, extreme temperatures, winter weather, and other meteorological threats.
Complement these warnings with observed hail swaths, damaging wind footprints, tornado tracks, and other available hazard observations.
Our human-induced event intelligence also covers supported civil unrest, conflict, strikes, security incidents, and infrastructure disruptions that may complicate emergency management and humanitarian operations.
Bring diverse threats into a unified intelligence foundation for monitoring, situational awareness, and operational planning.
Understand Population Exposure, Disaster Impacts & Humanitarian Needs
Move beyond knowing where a disaster occurred to understanding who and what may be affected.
DisasterAWARE connects evolving hazard footprints with available population, infrastructure, vulnerability, exposure, and impact intelligence.
Enable partner applications to assess potentially affected populations, healthcare facilities, transportation networks, critical infrastructure, and areas requiring further assessment.
Incorporate available reported impacts, including displacement, fatalities, injuries, infrastructure damage, and humanitarian needs related to shelter, water, and other essential resources.
As new observations and reports become available, continuously enriched intelligence helps applications develop a more complete picture of disaster conditions and potential consequences.
Power Emergency Management, Defense & Humanitarian Applications
Embed global disaster intelligence directly into emergency management software, common operational picture platforms, humanitarian information systems, geospatial dashboards, and decision-support applications.
DisasterAWARE delivers structured intelligence through APIs, webhooks, historical catastrophe datasets, geospatial services, and live and historical MCP servers.
Enable software providers, system integrators, and technology partners to incorporate authoritative hazard information into their solutions without independently sourcing, normalizing, and maintaining fragmented global intelligence feeds.
Support applications used for preparedness, shared situational awareness, operational planning, disaster response, and recovery.
