¶ Purpose
The purpose of the GO risk module is to visualise curated data on disaster risks in order to inform decision-making and enhance situational awareness concerning ongoing crises.
The evidence and analytical tools are public goods and use the best-available open-source, open-access data from IFRC, National Societies as well as partners from governments, academia, the UN, the private sector and other international organisations.
