System for Assessing, Tracking, and Alerting Disaster Risk Information based on Dynamic Risk Knowledge (SATARK)

A multi-hazard decision support system that integrates hazard forecasts, exposure, vulnerability, and dynamic risk information to support risk monitoring, early warning, preparedness, and response planning.

Developer: RIMES
Stage Of Maturity: Fully operational

Strengths

  • Integrates hazard, exposure, and vulnerability information
  • Supports dynamic risk assessment
  • Multi-hazard capability
  • Spatial visualization of risk
  • Supports operational emergency management

Weaknesses

  • Dependent on quality and timeliness of exposure datasets
  • Requires institutional coordination across multiple agencies
  • Primarily designed for government users

Synergies

  • Uses weather and climate forecast inputs from FOCUS, ECMWF Forecasts, and national forecasting systems.
  • Supported by geospatial and climate datasets from RDAS, DataEx, and the Climate Services Toolkit.
  • Can integrate hazard information from FloCAST, PARFFGS, and other operational warning systems.
  • Comparable to national multi-hazard risk platforms such as SMART and Nepal SATARK.
