UNDRR RiX - Risk Information Exchange

RiX brings together open-source global and national risk data, with an aim to harmonize the risk and vulnerability information, facilitating a smoother risk analysis and subsequent decision making process.

The risk and impact models are built on multiple datasets including global and local weather patterns, climate change effects, local hazards, exposure and vulnerabilities.

Data sources include:

• Climatelinks

• FEWS NET

• INFORM

• OpenStreetMap

• UNESCO

• UNOSAT

• World Bank

• Academic research papers

• National or region-specific governmental and non-governmental sources

By bringing together a high number of datasets and related analytical models, the RiX reduces the need to scramble data from multiple sources.

The current beta/pilot version covers selected countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. More countries are going to be added later in 2022.

Full version to be launched in Nov 2022.

PDC Disaster Alert

The free-to-use platform, DisasterAlert, features both automatized and manually entered disaster risk and early warning data around the world.

Thanks to the global coverage, DisasterAlert is also suitable for regional and global-scale decision making.

IFRC Go: Emergencies

In the current version, the IFRC Go brings together data from two principal sources: Field reports from the National Red Crescent Societies

and automated Orange and Red Alerts from GDACS.

Human-written field reports from the National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies inform about new and potential emergencies, associated risks and related action. This complemensts the automatized and robot-captured observations from the other platforms.

To be complemented by the more sophisticated Go Risk Module.
