Empowering Communities, Traversing Tomorrow.
- A Pre-Disaster Analytics Mapping System (PDAMS): Building resilience through descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics.
Welcome to Traverse Analytics – your trusted partner in safeguarding communities and critical infrastructure across North America. With our cutting-edge PDAMS platform, we empower leaders to anticipate risks, protect vital resources, and preserve cultural heritage. Our mission is clear: to provide actionable insights that promote life safety, foster resilience, and advance sustainability.
- Key Value Proposition:
Disaster chasers will often refer to disasters in three phases: pre-disaster, the “big boom” when the disaster hits, and post-disaster. Traverse Analytics offers a transformative pre-boom solution that minimizes post-boom problems.
Anticipating what will happen, when, and why – mitigating future risk and enhancing consequence management practices.
By collecting community risk assessment data, providing a historical incident repository and preventing the risk/mitigating risk.
Prevents disruptions of services through prescribed monitoring and alerting, minimizes risk of operational, financial, environmental, and health and safety impacts on the community/corporation through predictive analytics.
By targeting vulnerabilities and preventing the risk/mitigating risk form foreseeable hazards.
Mitigation cost escalation and disruption from service interruptions, maintaining economic benefits to and supply for customers reliant on products.
Informs integration costs, regulatory disclosures, fiscal investments.
FEATURES:
Extreme Weather Events are posing a global challenge that demands innovation, collaboration, and bold, transformative solutions.
Traverse Analytics offers a platform that forecasts extreme weather events, prescribes risk mitigation action, empowers leadership to make data-infused decisions and effectively manage resources and operational capacity
Database of historical infrastructure failures and root cause analysis:
The incident database feature includes historical extreme weather incident descriptions, community impact profiles, including financial and economic impacts, life safety impacts, land and psycho-social impacts and critical infrastructure / structural impacts.
In addition, we create a timelapse of historical extreme weather events within a 100km radius to illustrate any growth patterns in extreme weather risk outside of the community that may also pose a threat in the future. The root cause of each incident is captured in this database along with mitigation strategies already employed by the community or corporation to minimize future risk. We specialize in Wildland Urban Interface Fire settings, Flood prone areas, Areas subject to extreme drought, and Avalanche territories.
Risk Assessment
• Repository of probable future scenario outcomes/likelihood of occurrence (active risk matrix/fault tree analysis)
• Colour-coded tiered vulnerability mapping for Critical Infrastructure (CI)
• Extreme Weather accelerators identification
Wildfire/Drought/Flood/Avalanche Prediction
• Short term and long-term extreme weather predictive models (alerting functionality)
• The probability models estimate the likelihood of a wildfire/drought/flood/avalanche in a specific area over a given time frame, which provides a probabilistic map / index illustrating which regions have higher or lower extreme risk
• The impact models evaluate the potential consequences of a wildfire, drought, flood, and/or avalanche once it has occurred. These impact models provide the user with predictions of extreme weather behavior and its effects.
• Combined, these predictive models adopt a diverse range of variables to output a 1km x 1km grid of four (4) classes of specified extreme weather danger. We build the system to predict three (3) days, seven (7) days, and five (5) week future outputs.
Resource Repository / Operational Readiness Assessment
The resource repository aggregates resources from the following profiles:
• Public Safety Profile
• Community Service Profile
• Hazard Profile
• Equipment Inventory
The operational readiness assessment factors in the outputs from the resource repository data, with the addition of a training and learner competency assessment based on best practices.
This feature aids in developing a community of practice (COP) to build up common practices that may be used to advance capacity and optimize resource allocation.
Data-Driven Roadmap Reporting Function
• Data export options
• Scheduled reports
• Data comparison
• Data aggregation and summary reports
AI Chatbot / AI Prompt
• Enhanced user engagement,
• Automating tasks,
• Offering natural language processing (NLP) capabilities of summarizing the documents, and
Providing an interactive experience to gain more insight for the user. When using this function for building Indigenous Communities’ Wildfire Resilience or creating Defensible Solutions for Fire Departments, this may include:
- Fire Prevention and Safety Tips
- Wildfire Risk Prediction
- ·Wildfire Behavior Simulation
- Educational Information (fire behavior education and environmental impacts)
- User Interaction functionality
MARKET MODULES:
Indigenous Communities Wildfire Resilience
PDAMS combines descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics to support risk-informed and integrated decision-making as a community-led tool, centered on protecting indigenous lands, community infrastructure, ensuring the preservation and safety of vital areas and cultural artifacts.
We co-craft a clear risk picture to inform each community and its elders/leadership of potential wildfire hazards, establishing a risk threshold to inform the balance of priorities and resourcing needs, and the evaluation of community impacts, thus lending to the development and implementation of prescriptive mitigation strategies.
Fire Service Community Risk/Defensible Solutions
Effectively managing a fire department requires an understanding of and an ability to demonstrate how changes to resources will affect community outcomes. PDAMS is a digital solution that provides a comprehensive community risk assessment platform that informs fire department leadership and political decision-makers on how fire department resource deployment in their local community affects community outcomes in three critical areas: public safety, property loss, and resource capacity.
Comprehensive Risk Solutions for Modern Challenges
Value Chain Resilience and Asset Management
Mountain and Ski Resort Risk Management
North America’s mountainous regions have long been vulnerable to extreme weather events, profoundly influencing the development of risk management practices in ski resorts. As climate change increases the frequency and intensity of these events, ski resorts must continue to innovate in risk management to ensure safety, sustainability, and operational resilience.
From avalanches to unprecedented storms, these challenges underscore the necessity of robust planning, advanced technology, and sustainable practices. Traverse Analytics offers a comprehensive platform to strengthen avalanche, wildfire, drought, and flood prediction, prescribe mitigation measures, bolster emergency preparedness efforts, enhance community engagement, and foster sustainable operations through the adoption of climate-resilient practices.
