AIM 3.0
Global coverage for any type of hazard
Allows for the estimation of any hazard, anywhere in the world that has an associated polygon, including data-poor environments.
Questions AIM can help you answer:
What is the demographic makeup of the exposed population (e.g. children, elderly, adults)?
Quickly estimate potential impacts and needs
