Our platform provides unprecedented situational awareness and actionable insights for decision-makers.

We’re building a global disaster-intelligence platform with one concern in mind: saving lives. We’re using AI and machine learning to (1) create a robust, disaster-resilient cloud infrastructure, (2) create a real-time big data pipeline to inform disaster response and modeling, and (3) combine traditional hazard models with machine learning to provide clear pre-disaster insights, while capturing post-disaster data to continuously improve response and recovery.
