Transforming big data into actionable insights to anticipate hazards, reduce risks, and build resilience to new and emerging threats.

Make sense of complex risk environments

To keep pace with the rapidly changing hazard and risk landscape, decision-makers need actionable and reliable insights. PDC’s Analytics Lab offers decades of experience in rapid, multi-dimensional risk analyses across diverse domains. Leveraging the most advanced, AI-powered trend identification and predictive analytics, we’ve helped decision makers from the strategic to tactical level identify vulnerabilities, anticipate threats, and build resilience to major shocks.

Our unique insights can help you:

  • Support vulnerable populations
  • Make strategic decisions about infrastructure placement and resource allocation
  • Bolster partnerships and cooperation between international bodies, civilian and military organizations
  • Improve planning and preparedness
  • Improve training and exercise simulations

Global Risk and Vulnerability Index

PDC’s Multi-hazard risk score is a combination of multi-hazard exposure, vulnerability (susceptibility to impact), and coping capacity (the relative ability to absorb negative disaster impacts). This provides a collective measure of how each country may be affected by hazards and disasters as a whole over time.

2050 Anticipatory Risk Index

The only global analysis of its kind

PDC’s 2050 Anticipatory Risk Analysis represents a revolutionary breakthrough in the scaling and processing of extremely large geographic datasets. The analysis is flexible and can be run using multiple scenarios at any scale.  

Fragility Index

PDC’s nationally-recognized Fragility Assessment was updated for the entire globe in 2024. The assessment examines the components of state fragility and provides a country-level comparison of the ability of countries to respond to and recover from destabilizing shocks. The assessment was first released in 2020 and later referenced in the 2022 U.S. Fragility Act.

Personal Security

PDC’s new Personal Security Index provides a country-level measure of societal safety and well-being. The index integrates data on violence, governance, economic conditions, and disaster exposure to provide a measure of where individuals are at higher risk of violence, exploitation, and insecurity.

Food Security

PDC’s Food Security Index provides a comprehensive assessment of factors that contribute to food insecurity, examining physical and social access to food, dietary quality, and nutritional deficiencies, while also considering environmental factors, economic challenges and food production.

Other Areas of Focus

PDC’s portfolio of work extends to other areas of complex risk analysis including the assessment of the potential impacts of unregulated fishing, modern slavery, vulnerability of critical assets to a variety of  hazards, and more.
