. . . One Concern is launching a machine learning platform that provides cities with specialized maps to help emergency crews decide where to focus their efforts in a flood. The maps update in real-time based on data about where water is flowing to estimate where people need help the most. It’s the latest in a wave of AI-powered tools aimed at helping cities prepare for an era of severe, and increasingly frequent, disasters.

Our platform provides unprecedented situational awareness and actionable insights for decision-makers.
We’re building a global disaster-intelligence platform with one concern in mind: saving lives. We’re using AI and machine learning to (1) create a robust, disaster-resilient cloud infrastructure, (2) create a real-time big data pipeline to inform disaster response and modeling, and (3) combine traditional hazard models with machine learning to provide clear pre-disaster insights, while capturing post-disaster data to continuously improve response and recovery.

What if we could use machine intelligence to save more lives ...
CEO Ahmad Wani survived being marooned during the catastrophic Kashmir flood of 2014 for seven days wondering whether he would live or die. That was when he decided to dedicate himself to creating an AI-enabled platform designed to build long-term resilience.
While at Stanford University, Ahmad met AI guru Nicole Hu and earthquake expert Tim Frank, and together they channeled their collective passion into figuring out how to apply data science and machine learning to natural disasters and climate change.
