Asia-Pacific Disaster Data Project (site architecture)

Tight coordination between the public and private sector improves disaster preparedness and strengthens response networks. The Asia-Pacific Disaster Data Project helps improve this coordination for both preparedness and response activities by leveraging open data, open source tools, and APIs for publishing maps and data for mobile and low bandwidth environments.

The Project's light and agile data coordination team works to form a common operating picture across a decentralized network of both public and private partners. This current tool set is just a preview of our larger coordination plans for 2012. Ultimately this is about improving resilience across APEC economies by connecting a network of small nodes using data standards and open source tools.
