DesignSafe

DesignSafe is a cyberinfrastructure for natural hazards research. It is a project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) that provides a platform for researchers to store, share, and analyze data related to natural hazards. DesignSafe aims to accelerate scientific discovery and enhance the resilience of communities to natural disasters.

The platform offers a range of tools and services, including data storage, visualization, and analysis capabilities. Researchers can upload their data, such as sensor readings, simulation results, and experimental data, to DesignSafe. The platform then makes this data accessible to other researchers, fostering collaboration and enabling new insights. DesignSafe also provides tools for data curation and management, ensuring the quality and integrity of the data.

DesignSafe supports research across a variety of natural hazards, including earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, and wildfires. The platform is designed to be scalable and adaptable, accommodating the diverse needs of the natural hazards research community. By providing a centralized and collaborative environment, DesignSafe seeks to advance our understanding of natural hazards and inform strategies for disaster risk reduction and mitigation. The project is a collaborative effort involving multiple universities and research institutions.
