Industries

The Project: Ptolemy platform has many tools and resources focused on aiding large government agencies. Not only do we offer tools out of the box, like our automated plans creations, but we offer incredibly in depth customization. This allows large agencies to tailor their tools directly to their needs. We allow customization by the user but we also offer support plans to help you integrate your needs into your deployment. Contact us to discuss!

Local governments are the front lines in disaster management. They are the first responders as well as being the ones that are affected. We take great care to make sure we are offering the most comprehensive and easy to use situational awareness tool available. Our goal is to help you so you can help everyone else. By using resources such as our damage assessment tools and our disaster visualization tools we hope to provide you with the information you need to get past looking for data and instead start acting.

Nonprofits and non-government actors make up the most diverse and innovative group of disaster management professionals. As part of the volunteer community ourselves we know users range from first time volunteer to veterans of some of our most expansive disasters. We want to create a community where these users collaborate and do what they do best, act. Using our community engagement platform and open source, extendable tools we aim to offer a platform that is not only suited for you, it is yours to mold.

Finally, is you. The entire purpose of our platform is to inform the decision makers, aid the action takers, and give awareness for those in the scene of a disaster. We offer several of our services for free so as many people as possible can contribute to the platform and make use of its capabilities to better plan and survive disasters. Please reach out to us and let us know how we can best support your community.
