Real-Time Damage Maps
Satellite-derived and field-verified damage assessment, hours after the event.
Science, simulation and smart technology
Disaster Risk Reduction
We help cities prepare for earthquakes before they strike — with data, science and simulation.
What we doWhat we do
Agent-Based Modeling
Rescue teams, medical units and volunteers simulated as intelligent, interacting agents.
GIS Simulation
Dynamic scenarios in geospatial environments, built on real urban infrastructure data.
Response Optimization
Evidence-based allocation of resources, routes and priorities under uncertainty.
Our flagship product
Quakeagents — simulate earthquake response, end to end.
Quakeagents is a GIS-enabled, agent-based simulation framework that models how firefighters, EMS, police, volunteers and citizens respond after an earthquake — so emergency managers can test policies, find operational bottlenecks and improve urban resilience before the next event.

Our services
Our services
From hazard science to operational response — three ways we work with cities and institutions.
Seismic Risk & Loss Assessment
Hazard, vulnerability and loss modeling for buildings, lifelines and urban districts — grounded in local building-stock data.
Read moreAgent-Based Emergency Simulation
Multi-agent simulation of search-and-rescue, medical surge and volunteer coordination in post-earthquake conditions.
Read moreWeb-GIS Decision Support
Interactive geospatial dashboards that turn simulation outputs and field data into operational decisions.

Complex Adaptive SystemsComplex Adaptive Systems (CAS): Understanding Group Order and Self-Organization
How do Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) shape group order and self-organization without a leader? From bird flocks to rescue teams, we explore the science behind collective behavior

SimulationWhy agent-based models are changing earthquake response planning
Traditional loss models tell you what breaks. Agent-based models tell you what happens next — who moves, who waits, and where the plan quietly fails.

Everyone wants a digital twin of their city. Fewer ask what data it needs, how it stays current, and when a simpler model answers the question better.
