OUR GOAL IS TO TRANSFORM DISASTER RESPONSE
The Disaster Intelligence Initiative (Di2) uses AI and continuous citizen engagement to deliver ground-truth data, transforming how communities prepare, respond, and recover
Providing cities and citizens better information
When fast-moving disasters overwhelm government systems, official data is often too slow and sparse. This leaves vulnerable communities invisible and misallocates critical response resources, leading to preventable suffering and increased economic loss. The consequences are dire: from FEMA call center collapses during events like the Texas floods, to critical blind spots witnessed during Hurricane Helene in North Carolina.
