Within Sustainability practice, we are focusing on building resilience to combat disaster and climate risk. The increasing frequency and intensity of disasters globally have renewed the urgency to implement disaster and climate risk reduction strategies to enhance disaster preparedness for effective response and recovery.
services are very closely aligned with the Sendai Framework, focusing on reducing causalities and people affected by disasters, improving the resilience of infrastructure, setting up early warning systems with impact-based forecasting, reducing economic losses, and enabling disaster risk governance. It’s directly related to making the world more resilient to climate change.
RMSI supports these goals through its technological solutions focused on strengthening disaster risk governance to increase community resilience and build back better for a sustainable future. We have been working with the world’s local and national governments, multilateral funding agencies, and private entities to implement these solutions for the last two decades.
RMSI has applied its domain expertise to develop innovative frameworks for multi-hazard risk assessment, including the impact of climate change on hydro-meteorological hazards, impact-based forecasting, Decision Support System (DSS) for emergency management, and mitigation & adaptation planning. RMSI has also implemented innovative approaches to food security through climate-based advisories to farmers and agri-value chain management through software platforms.
RMSI has been building a combination of standard statistical modeling techniques, numerical models, and machine learning-based models. Through these approaches, we have modeled water availability, floods, cyclones, earthquakes, Tsunamis, avalanches, droughts, landslides, forest fires, urban fires, industrial hazards, etc.
With more than two decades of experience, RMSI has worked extensively with state & federal governments and multilateral funding agencies, including the World Bank, IFC, UNDP, UNISDR, ADB, and FAO.
RMSI provides solutions across the entire spectrum of risk and disaster management cycle encompassing multi-hazard risk assessment and its applications for mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery.
RMSI has developed an innovative framework of ‘Decision Support System for Disaster Risk Reduction’ that utilizes the outcomes of multi-hazard risk assessment for activities performed for mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. This framework has been successfully implemented in several nations of the world and has proven to be an impactful tool for mainstreaming disaster risk reduction. Key services include:
