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

Geospatial Intelligence Layers — FAQ
What is a geospatial intelligence layer and how does it work?
A geospatial intelligence layer is a map-ready data feed — tiles, WMS/WMTS services, or vector data — that adds hazard, weather, risk, or exposure context to your own maps and applications. You add the layer endpoint to a mapping library such as Mapbox, MapLibre, Leaflet, or ArcGIS, and the layer renders continuously updated hazard and risk data over your basemap.
What does geospatial intelligence software cost?
DisasterAWARE Geospatial Intelligence Layers use simple usage-based plans starting at $299/month for developers, with team and enterprise tiers above that. See the pricing page for current plans — there are no per-request charges.
What hazard map data formats are supported?
Layers are delivered as raster tiles, WMS and WMTS services, and vector formats including GeoJSON, ready for Mapbox, MapLibre, Leaflet, ArcGIS, and QGIS. Free sample layers are available to test in your stack before subscribing.
Who provides geospatial hazard and risk data layers?
Government agencies publish per-hazard open data, and commercial providers package multi-hazard layers for operational use. DisasterAWARE's catalog covers 300+ layers across active hazards, forecasts, climate indicators, vulnerability, population exposure, and critical infrastructure — the same intelligence stack used by the Pacific Disaster Center's global monitoring.
