Tropical cyclones

GDACS automatically monitors tropical cyclones. For each cyclone, humanitarian impact is calculated based on affected population and storm strength. Detailed reports with affected infrastructure are available. Each 15 minutes, GDACS collects - in an automatic way - media reports, damage maps, ReliefWeb situation reports and more about the storms.
