Risk assessment for emergency managers

Risk assessments you can defend and keep current.

Hazzard reads your plans and federal data, cites each finding to its page, and leaves the scores to your team.

For cities, towns and counties. We set it up with you and keep each hazard current through the year.

How it works

From your map to a score your team can defend

Four steps, one record. The screens are simplified, on Cedar Ridge County, a fictional example.

  1. 1Map

    Start from the map of your county

    Your footprint, with FEMA flood zones, wildfire perimeters, NWS warnings and assessor parcels from the publisher.

    • Paste your ArcGIS Hub and add its layers
    • Tag a layer to the hazards it explains
    • Satellite, terrain and a link to share each view

  2. 2Connect

    Federal data joins your plans

    FEMA declarations, the National Risk Index, Census, NOAA weather and HHS emPOWER sync daily for your places. Hazzard reads your plans to the page.

    • Each number shows its source and when it was checked
    • A new warning reaches its hazard the same day
    • Hazzard stores nothing it cannot cite

  3. 3Ask

    Work it out in the hazard's channel

    Each hazard has a channel. Fire, public works, public health and the county administrator talk there. Mention @Research and it answers with the page it cites.

    • Ask questions of your own documents
    • Send a score to the person who approves it
    • A daily roundup instead of a meeting

  4. 4Decide

    Your team sets the score

    Likelihood, impact and readiness on your scale, each with its reason. Scored hazards land on one matrix and print as a brief officials can check.

    • AI drafts. Your team decides.
    • Each conclusion traces to a source and a person
    • New documents and declarations update the record
