- Global Hazards Information Network (GHIN)
- The Global Hazards Information Network (GHIN) equips disaster managers, planners, governments, and nongovernmental organizations with instant access to a wide range of high-quality geospatial information resources to support risk assessment, early warning, response and other disaster management activities. Partners share data by registering metadata in a PDC-hosted information portal powered by PDC's geospatial data management environment. Capabilities include a data search engine, dynamic-content map services, data download, and interactive hazard mapping applications, via a robust, always-on environment requiring only a standard browser for access.
