We monitor. We verify. We inform.
RSOE–EDIS is a global emergency and disaster information service operating since 2004. It monitors natural and human-induced emergency events around the world 24 hours a day, and makes processed information available through an event map and event list.
Worldwide event monitoring, structured information and faster situational awareness.
