A Comprehensive Library of Geospatial Intelligence
DisasterAWARE Geospatial Intelligence Layers provides access to a growing catalog of hazard, vulnerability, resilience, country risk indicators, population exposure, and infrastructure layers that can be integrated into web, mobile, and enterprise mapping applications.
More Than Weather Maps
Understand Weather, Hazards, Exposure, Vulnerability, Infrastructure, and Potential Impacts
Many mapping providers help you visualize weather. DisasterAWARE helps you understand all of it — by combining weather observations, forecast intelligence, hazard monitoring, population exposure, infrastructure intelligence, and country-level risk indicators.
Why Geospatial Intelligence Matters
Organizations increasingly rely on maps and geospatial applications. Yet many applications lack access to authoritative geospatial intelligence beyond basic basemaps and weather overlays.
- ✓Monitor hazards and weather
- ✓Visualize risk and resilience
- ✓Understand population exposure
- ✓Assess infrastructure impacts
- ✓Support planning and preparedness
- ✓Enhance operational decision-making
