WHY RISK INTELLIGENCE MATTERS
Good natural-hazard and climate evidence is the foundation. Risk intelligence shows what that evidence means for the decisions you need to make.

WAYS OF WORKING TOGETHER
Some organisations adopt Resilience Explorer® directly. Others begin with a defined project, with Urban Intelligence using the platform as necessary to build the evidence and analysis underneath it.
PROJECT
PLATFORM
PARTNERSHIP
Most organisations blend these over time: a project gets the evidence base started, and the platform carries it forward as an ongoing capability.
ADVISORY SUPPORT TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS
Urban Intelligence® provides standalone advisory, analysis and applied research, as well as specialist support alongside Resilience Explorer®. Engage us for a defined piece of work or ongoing specialist input; use of the platform depends on what best supports the work.

FAQs | QUESTIONS CLIENTS ASK
How is this different from other hazard mapping or risk viewers?
Our hazard and exposure data isn't perfect. Can we still use this?
Our GIS team already does exposure mapping. Why do we need this as well?
How do you validate your results?
What happens when our underlying data changes?
Wouldn't it be cheaper to build this ourselves?
How do you work with teams of different sizes and needs?
We already know our risk, and it's low. Is Resilience Explorer® still worth it?
Aren't there open-source tools that already do this?
We don't want a black box. How transparent is this, really?
