🌍 Resilience begins long before disaster strikes.

With better data and geospatial insight, we can anticipate risk, not just react to it.

At Quarticle, we use data & geospatial intelligence to help reduce risk.

How is your organization using tech to strengthen disaster preparedness?

At the recent #DIRECTED General Assembly, Julia Kraatz and Martin Pontius were able to take a closer look at how the Roskilde Fjord faces the challenges posed by extreme weather events. Meetings with local stakeholders explored how technology can support municipalities' climate change adaptation (#CCA) plans for a more cohesive, informed, and safer future.

Check out their blog post, in which they share their key insights and observations.
