Disaster Alert

Disaster Alert is a free, mobile app that provides individuals, families, and their loved ones with the information they need to stay safe anywhere in the world. Built on PDC’s DisasterAWARE® platform, Disaster Alert™ offers near real-time updates about 18 different types of active hazards as they are unfolding around the globe.

With Disaster Alert, you can customize early warning alerts, view situational analysis reports, and access modeled hazard impacts for select hazards in a single, easy-to-use map interface. Disaster Alert’s continuous stream of new information is automatically derived from only scientifically verified sources. When no official source is available, alerts are updated manually, presenting a small lag in time.

Disaster Alert是一款免费的移动应用程序，可为个人，家庭及其亲人提供在世界任何地方保持安全所需的信息。 Disaster Alert™构建于PDC的DisasterAWARE®平台之上，可在全球范围内展开18种不同类型的主动危害，提供近实时更新。

通过灾难警报，您可以在一个易于使用的地图界面中自定义预警警报，查看情境分析报告以及访问针对特定危险的建模危害影响。灾难警报的连续新信息流自动仅来自经过科学验证的来源。如果没有可用的官方来源，则会手动更新警报，从而产生较小的滞后时间。
