Kinetic Analysis Corporation Selected as Finalist in the SAFE STEPS Disaster Tech Awards
More people live on the planet today than have ever lived at any point in the past. With booming civilizations and exponential population growth that continues across the globe, the human impact on the environment is unequivocal. We rely on the Earth for natural resources, food, and for building and maintaining our thriving communities. However, with this dependence comes the many ways in which humans continue to permanently alter our natural world (often for the worst). We have seen this over the last century with ongoing global climate change and deforestation efforts, which have resulted in an increase in natural disasters. As part of an effort to raise disaster awareness and inform communities and people of the steps needed to promote safety during a natural disaster, Kinetic Analysis Corporation recently entered a competition to showcase the best disaster technology (D-Tech) for products and solutions that can be used prior to, during, and after a natural disaster.
Disaster Tech (D-Tech) is an area focused on the development of products to save lives and improve human resilience to natural disasters. The SAFE STEPS competition is hosted by e27 (Optimatic), which is a Southeast Asian company that connects entrepreneurs with resources, insights, and funding opportunities to build and grow their companies [1]. As the leading provider of global hazards and impact information on tropical cyclones, Kinetic Analysis Corporation has participated in the SAFE STEPS competition as part of our broader mission to create a world more resilient to extreme events and climate change. Recently, we were named as a finalist along with 5 other companies. We will be presenting our Disaster Tech solution at the e27 (Optimatic) Asia Summit in Singapore on 15 June 2023.
