Geospatial Operational Intelligence
for Crisis, Health, and Field Operations

Upload administrative boundaries, select the admin areas that matter, and combine live disasters, outbreak reports, conflict data, population, OSM infrastructure, and Earth Engine hazard context in one auditable workspace.

Evidence-GatedForecast, operational outlook, and prioritization only score hazards when the required evidence layers are enabled. Every result includes drivers, sources, and limitations for review.

The Challenge

Response teams, public health programs, and field operations groups struggle to see which areas, sites, and routes are exposed when hazards, outbreaks, conflict, and access constraints overlap. Manual monitoring across multiple data sources slows operational decisions.

The Solution

Aidstack Disasters consolidates global disaster data, outbreak reports, admin-area evidence, infrastructure context, and AI decision support in one visual interface so operators can move from raw signals to reviewable judgments faster.

From Data to Decision in Five Steps

1

Load Live Disasters, Conflict, and Boundaries

Access live GDACS disaster data, upload ACLED CSV exports from your ACLED account, and upload a shapefile with the administrative boundaries you want to analyze

2

Select Admin Areas and Add Context

Choose the admin areas that matter, then load sites, WorldPop population, OSM infrastructure, optional hazard context overlays, and nighttime lights when needed

3

Enable Evidence Layers Before Forecasting

Turn on Flood Context, Drought Context, or Nighttime Lights when needed so the workspace can use loaded evidence instead of guessing from forecast or map context alone

4

Review Forecast, Outlook, and Prioritization

Use the shared admin-level analysis pipeline to compare hazard drivers, read the Operational Outlook, and rank selected admin areas in the Prioritization Board

5

Export and Brief Stakeholders

Use the map, annotations, and decision outputs together to produce evidence-based briefings and reviewable recommendations for coordination and planning
