Every number on this site is computed from real, public data — not opinion. Here's exactly where it comes from, and who to credit.
Engineered Preparedness runs on primary sources — federal agencies, scientific institutions and open datasets. The tools don't editorialize the data; they apply the framework's math to it. The scoring models, weightings and derived compilations are our own work, but the raw inputs are all listed below, with a link to each.
Basemaps and geographic layers we display. Several carry license terms that require credit — listed first.
The physical-risk backbone of the Threat Report, the risk map and the hazard simulators.
Who lives where, and the economic and social factors that shape risk and readiness.
The built environment layered onto the maps — what’s around any address.
Updated continuously and shown on the dashboard and maps. 134 distinct streams, pulled in-browser or refreshed each deploy.
