Disaster Resilience and Recovery
The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI)
Maps of Disaster Resilience and Recovery are published here once their data rights are cleared and they have been reviewed. Each shows its time and space reference, its sources and its uncertainty.

Disaster Resilience and Recovery released maps are reviewed map views of disaster and crisis, published once their data rights are cleared, each with its coordinate reference, date, sources and uncertainty. Layers draw on sources such as Sendai Framework Monitor. A map shows released, rights-cleared evidence, not a live feed or an official warning.
For released maps, in GCRI's spatial-intelligence reading, the map opens on population density, flood water, active fires and true-colour imagery, framed on World; every other NASA layer, live feed and forecast waits in the layer list.
The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.

Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Coordinate reference system | The definition that ties coordinates to locations on Earth, catalogued with EPSG codes. |
| Modifiable areal unit problem | The change in statistical results that comes from how areas are drawn and aggregated. |
| Zonal statistics | Statistics of raster values summarised within boundaries such as districts. |
| Public-safe release | A recorded decision on the detail at which a layer may be published without exposing sensitive sites or people. |
