Vulnerability Assessments: The Foundation for Smarter Policy
Learn how vulnerability assessments uncover physical, social, and environmental risks—and how these insights shape smarter and more resilient disaster planning.
Throughout the last decade, global disasters have killed nearly 1 million people, affecting at least 2 billion more. These nightmare statistics are the result of floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, explosions, collapses, and fires. And while many have grown accustomed to the devastating cycle of events like these, Prometheus refuses to accept these statistics as “inevitable.”
Each time disaster strikes, thoughts and prayers are shared, donations are sent, and volunteers rally. In due time, intervention and aid finally arrive from a variety of disjointed sources, attempting to assess and react to the state of a community in the wake of tragedy. As these organizations work separately while occupying close quarters, they’re faced with the task of picking up the pieces of a wreckage with very little communication or resources. While these organizations are well intended, the result is a loss of time, money, and most unfortunately, lives. We know that with the right approach, disaster response can be more proactive and less reactive.
Prometheus helps countries better prepare for natural disasters by connecting and equipping a network of people in order to save lives, rebuild communities, and respond efficiently. We prepare nations with customized disaster response plans that are created with their infrastructure in mind, using cutting-edge technology to link global networks of people and equipment. The result? Less bureaucracy and more efficiency when it comes to disaster response.
Our network leverages people from all walks of life, each looking to do their part to eliminate needless loss and tragedy around the globe. By creating systems that enable heroes to do what they do best, we’re able to save what matters most – human life. Because Prometheus knows that profit isn’t measured in currency, but in the number of lives saved.

As climate change accelerates and intensifies, communities around the globe are experiencing more frequent and more destructive natural disasters. From earthquakes to typhoons to flash floods, the types of threats may differ, but the need for resilient infrastructure is universal. And yet… There’s no one-size-fits-all solution to resilient infrastructure. “The measures each country should take
Every April, we look forward to celebrating our Earth a little extra! Thanks to observances like Earth Month, Earth Day, and Arbor Day, we have abundant opportunities to reflect on the strides communities worldwide are making toward sustainability. Green cities–urban areas implementing eco-friendly practices–are improving environmental health and providing residents with better access to fresh
