A deployable navigation network of small, low-cost radio transponders can help track the locations of first responders during rescue operations.

We are creating proactive, integrated decision -support tools and services that empower frontline communities to prepare for climate impacts and minimize losses.  

Our see-through-wall sensor is a lightweight, portable technology that peers through rubble and debris of a disaster site to detect survivors.

We're building a system to track the dispersal of international food aid.

By connecting a PV microgrid powered by solar panels to homes, engineers could provide people who live in regions of power-insecurity with the energy to cook their meals. Unused power could be applied to phone-charging stations.

Emergency agencies around the world are using NICS to coordinate rapid and organized response to disasters.
