Benfield UCL Hazard Research Centre (BUHRC) and SARAID are working together to develop inTERRAgate – a global online database comprising:

- A hazard profile for every nation
- Forecasts and early warnings of future hazardous events
- Past disasters and their impacts to identify the potential scale and consequences of the events along with the most likely affected areas
- Contact details of in-country Government departments, NGOs, and scientific contacts
- Links to online sources of information, including available and appropriate online GIS applications

The project is aimed at disaster management NGOs and humanitarian agencies, and will collate fundamental information required to improve preparedness and foster appropriate mitigation and management measures. The inTERRAgate website will provide an online gateway of comprehensive hazard information on each of the world’s nation states – drawing attention to potential future threats to improve preparedness and foster appropriate mitigation and management methodology.

More information about the project, the data currently being collected, and the groups inTERRAgate are working with at the inTERRAgate website
