Science and technology pave way to a safer, more disaster resilient world
As the frequency and severity of natural disasters continue to increase worldwide—affecting more people than ever before—the need for countries to more effectively reduce disaster risk has become an urgent global priority. As an applied research center managed by the University of Hawaii, PDC is helping leaders around the world to address this priority through its powerful DisasterAWARE technology platform, scientific research, information, and advanced practices in disaster management. Our work focuses on some of the most hazard-prone areas of the world. We help governmental and nongovernmental organizations and collaborate with experts from across disciplines to tackle the biggest challenges in disaster management.
