Safer world.
Our risk intelligence products provide decision-makers with the essential insights and information needed to act early to protect communities from hazards. PDC works to support the most demanding needs of nonprofits and government organizations worldwide in a collective mission to create a safer, more disaster-resilient world.
News about our work
In our partners’Â
own words
Countries need our continued support to help them prepare, respond and recover when disasters strike. PDC's research and tools will greatly enhance national governments’ ability to withstand multiple shocks and contribute to the resilience-building of families and communities.
–John Aylieff,
World Food Programme Regional Director for Asia and the Pacific
NDRRMC is constantly in need of situational data, readily available to them at any given time for crucial decision-making and planning against arising threats ahead of time. The PhilAWARE Project gives us that innovation and technology.
–Philippines’ Under Secretary Ricardo Jalad,
Executive Director of the Philippines National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council
This alliance [with PDC] is a step forward in the achievement of the digital transformation goals the IFRC has set. Integrating digital and emerging technologies, skills and a digital culture into our organization in a more efficient way will enable us to harness collective intelligence and democratize access to information.
–Xavier Castellanos,
IFRC Under Secretary General of National Society Development and Operations
Natural disasters have the potential to cause tremendous suffering and perpetuate generations of social inequality and economic instability, especially for resource-limited economies. This assessment and the partnership between PDC and Nicaragua to reduce disaster risk should be recognized as an international model of cooperation that achieves numerous priorities of the United Nations’ Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.
–Laura Dogu,
Ambassador to Nicaragua
The U.S. Government and PDC were among the first few early partners to support the AHA Centre even before it was established five years ago to facilitate cooperation and coordination of disaster management and emergency response among ASEAN member states.
–Adelina Kamal
AHA Centre Executive Director
PDC's advanced modeling and mapped products helped accurately anticipate the nature and extent of impacts from Dorian so that we could protect the most at-risk communities and coordinate life-saving humanitarian relief. These products were used daily in planning and public outreach, and in briefing national officials, including the Prime Minister, to prepare effectively.
–Captain Stephen M. Russell,
Director, National Emergency Management Agency, The Bahamas
Over the past years we have seen increasingly intense events having a devastating impact on people in the region. Teaming up with PDC is a great opportunity to improve the overall coordination of the humanitarian response, which is at the core of OCHA´s work.
–Rogerio Mobilia Silva,
Head of OCHA's Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean
Expanding our country’s use of the best available technology along with continued collaboration will help us reach our national objectives to strengthen early warning systems, disaster management, and advanced planning.
–Director General Mr. Vilayphong Sisomvang,
Department of Social Welfare
