The project

Benfield UCL Hazard Research Centre (BUHRC) is working to develop inTERRAgate – a global online database comprising:

A hazard profile for every nation
Forecasts and early warnings of future hazardous events
Past disasters and their impacts to identify the potential scale and consequences of the events along with the most likely affected areas
Contact details of in-country Government departments, NGOs, and scientific contacts
Links to online sources of information, including available and appropriate online GIS applications

The project is aimed at disaster management NGOs and humanitarian agencies, and will collate fundamental information required to improve preparedness and foster appropriate mitigation and management measures. The inTERRAgate website will provide an online gateway of comprehensive hazard information on each of the world’s nation states – drawing attention to potential future threats to improve preparedness and foster appropriate mitigation and management methodology.

You can find more information about the project, the first responder data currently being collected, and the groups we are working with in the below handouts:

Project partners

Benfield UCL Hazard Research Centre is able to draw on the services of a range of hazard and risk expertise from within University College London (UCL) and through an extensive research and operations network, which will be combined with logistical and primary contact data collected and updated by project partners. This will include specific data about access to and mobility within countries and across the world. Upon completion of the database it will automatically update and users will be able to submit data. International response teams will then be 90% prepared for all likely eventualities, identifying the most vulnerable countries, their most likely range of anticipated hazards, along with having on-tap information about the host country.

Work with us...

inTERRAgate is currently working with BUHRC, DisasterMan Ltd, and UCL. We are looking for further project sponsors and data sources to provide users with the most extensive information network available in order to make informed decisions.
