Critech develops ICT-based solutions for rapid situational assessment, early warning, response and coordination in the case of crises and disasters:

• Digital Map Archive :
  The digital map archive is a collection of interactive on-line maps that can be easily retrieved through a dedicated web platform. The maps included in the archive features real-time data related to natural hazards in partnership with over 20 scientific institutions and are very important for the analysis that follow disaster events.

• Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System :
  The Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System (GDACS) is a web-based platform that sends automatic alerts via e-mail, fax or SMS to the international first responders community in case of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and cyclones.
  
• Global Flood Detection System :
  The Global Flood Detection System allows near real-time detection of flooded areas worldwide. GFDS provides maps, alerts, and raw data for users ranging from emergency managers and public authorities to scientists and web developers.
