DisasterAware Enterprise

What DisasterAware Enterprise does

DisasterAWARE Enterprise (legally DisasterIQ, Inc.) is a SaaS-based all-hazards risk intelligence platform founded in 2013 and headquartered in Los Gatos, California, with an additional office in Honolulu. The company was established as the commercial licensing arm of the Pacific Disaster Center (PDC), a non-profit operated under a cooperative agreement between the U.S. Department of Defense and the University of Hawai'i, and it leverages more than 30 years of institutional expertise in hazard science and disaster management. Its core platform monitors 28 natural and manmade hazard types — earthquakes, floods, tropical cyclones, severe storms, wildfires, tsunamis, volcanoes, civil unrest, and others — by integrating 300+ verified authoritative data sources and 575+ mapping layers, including NASA FIRMS satellite detections, USGS/ASEAN seismic feeds, and 80,000+ media sources, into a unified severity model with automated population and capital exposure estimates.

The product portfolio centers on the DisasterAWARE Enterprise SaaS platform, complemented by the Event Intelligence API (Data as a Service) for programmatic access, a Historical Event Intelligence data product, SmartAlert targeted notifications, geospatial intelligence layers (including 50,000+ live traffic cameras), and a free DisasterAlert mobile app. Revenue is generated primarily through annual subscription contracts with enterprise, government, defense, and humanitarian customers, plus usage-based API access, freemium app conversion, and ancillary enterprise support. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, a product-led free trial/explore platform, and channel partnerships with Crisis24, Marsh (Sentrisk and Blue[i]), and similar platforms that embed DisasterAWARE intelligence into broader risk management offerings.

Customers include Coca-Cola Bottlers' Sales & Services, Marsh, AXA, Stryker, KBR, Crisis24, FEMA, the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of State, U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, Defense Logistics Agency, ASEAN, IAEA, the United Nations OCHA, the World Food Programme, the IFRC, and the American Red Cross — spanning insurance, supply chain, emergency management, defense, and humanitarian verticals across 65+ countries. Pricing is quote-based for Enterprise tiers, with a 14-day free trial and guided onboarding as the principal conversion mechanism, and 24/7 global support for paying customers.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Veoci: Veoci offers an emergency management and crisis response collaboration platform used by government and enterprise teams. It is an emerging player that overlaps with DisasterAWARE's government emergency management and humanitarian response workflows.
• BlackSky: BlackSky provides satellite-based real-time geospatial intelligence and analytics for government and commercial customers. It is an emerging player with overlapping capabilities to DisasterAWARE's satellite-imagery damage assessment and NASA FIRMS wildfire features.
• ICEYE: ICEYE operates a SAR satellite constellation delivering persistent monitoring and flood/wildfire imagery for insurance, government, and emergency response. It is an emerging player that competes in the satellite-imagery damage assessment layer of DisasterAWARE's post-catastrophe analytics.
• Spire Global: Spire Global operates a satellite constellation producing Earth intelligence and weather/hazard data feeds for government and commercial customers. It is an emerging player whose global data feeds could be complementary or competitive with DisasterAWARE's hazard data APIs.

Broad incumbents

• Palantir: Palantir Foundry and Gotham integrate disparate data sources into operational decision platforms for defense, intelligence, and large enterprises. It is a broad incumbent that competes for the same DoD, humanitarian, and large-enterprise risk intelligence budgets as DisasterAWARE.
• Esri: Esri's ArcGIS platform is the dominant geospatial intelligence system used by emergency management, government, and insurance organizations. It is a broad incumbent whose hazard/live-feed layers overlap with DisasterAWARE's 575+ data layers and is often evaluated as an alternative platform for the same GIS-based decision workflows.
• Riskonnect: Riskonnect is an integrated risk management platform spanning enterprise risk, insurance, and supplier risk for mid-market and enterprise buyers. It is a broad incumbent that competes for the same insurance/supply-chain resilience budgets that DisasterAWARE targets via AXA and Marsh.

Direct peers

• Dataminr: Dataminr provides real-time event and risk detection by fusing public data sources into alerts for enterprise, government, and news customers. It is a direct competitor to DisasterAWARE in real-time hazard intelligence and is already a logical substitute for corporate security/travel-risk buyers evaluating both platforms.
• OnSolve: OnSolve delivers critical event management and mass notification plus risk intelligence for enterprise and government buyers. It is a direct competitor in emergency notification and hazard alerting, comparable to DisasterAWARE's SmartAlert + multi-hazard monitoring offering.
• Everbridge: Everbridge's Critical Event Management (CEM) platform unifies mass notification, risk intelligence, and operational response for enterprises and governments. It competes head-on with DisasterAWARE's SmartAlert + monitoring platform for corporate security and emergency management budgets.
