DisasterAWARE for Vietnam

In 2011, PDC developed the first non-English version of DisasterAWARE. Called VinAWARE, the custom platform has a Vietnamese language interface and integrates real-time data from agencies within Vietnam. Following the success of VinAWARE, PDC envisions additional foreign language versions of its flagship technology, and has added Spanish, Thai, and Indonesian interfaces to the system.

DisasterAWARE Early Warning and Decision Support Platform

Disaster managers face significant challenges in managing essential information for preparedness, response, and recovery efforts. Designed specifically to overcome these challenges, the DisasterAWARE (All-hazard Warnings, Analysis, and Risk Evaluation) platform integrates information, modeling, and mapping technologies to provide situational awareness and decision support in a highly visual and easy-to-use web application.

DisasterAWARE continually monitors reliable scientific data sources for events deemed potentially hazardous to people, property, or assets, and posts these incidents as “Active Hazards.” These postings are accessible to decision makers and to the public through early warning and decision support tools:

  • Disaster Alert: PDC’s free and easy-to-use application for iPhone, iPad, and Android™ users delivers a mobile, up-to-the-minute multi-hazard monitoring platform.
  • Global Hazards Atlas: Available to all users, this interactive global map viewer provides a continuously updated information stream on current hazards worldwide, along with other geospatial data.
  • EMOPS: Designed to meet the information needs of disaster managers and state and local government users, this free, subscription-based Emergency Operations (EMOPS) system provides a secure environment for accessing, updating, and sharing information before, during, and after a disaster.

PDC also offers customized versions of DisasterAWARE for specialized deployments, working with stakeholders to identify specific requirements and propose right-sized solutions.
