Tech vs Floods: Yes, we CAN help in the management of Mother Nature. Here's How. Sorta.

 


FLOOD EXPO 2022 AND THE CONNECTION TO NEW MAPPING PLATFORM TECH


(and yes, dammit: time to admit, this was and indeed, IS an Urban Hawk backed Blog!).

#notanadvert ;)








There are countless contexts in which the #POLARONWORLDENGINE can and will be applied by URBAN HAWK. Each area will be, gradually and carefully, unveiled and explored. Self contained and yet connected, logically. 


  • Gamified, professionally relevant, insurance savvy, commercially aware!

  •  AI/VR/AR friendly, accessible, up to the minute, state of the art visual mapping. 

  • All launched in partnership with specific platforms, across sectors.


Now, we cannot give away ALL our secrets. That would spoil the surprise, box us in and be bad business. What we CAN reveal, however, is that the pilot programme is imminent, starting OCTOBER, 2022. #POLARONISCOMING! 


This will be a mainly B2B effort, at first. The B2C dimension will grow both organically and fairly quickly, from that sure footing. Influencer drives, community building, viral marketing, unique tracking: all ‘there’. You will SEE the digital simulations, in real time, with visible utility, in whichever field they are applied. 


In the build up to the big day where we go sort of ‘live’? Urban Hawk is on a fact finding expo attendance mission for Polaron’s possibilities. And that starts with civil defence. Flooding, a case in point. Can we prevent floods? No. Not quite that good, yet, alas. But the necessity of protection from fallout and the absolute urgency in mapping areas around flood risk zones? Vital. We are part of that race. 


In context / bigger picture? One should understand the effects of numerous hazards occurring concurrently. Or one after another, dynamically coupled or independently, in close proximity? Think about  the notion of compound hazards, or multi risks, It has evolved in recent years.


Extreme weather conditions, such as droughts and cyclones, as well as volcanic eruptions, landslides, and other natural disasters, as well as public health emergencies like pandemics, pose a threat to people's lives, societies, and the built and natural surroundings. 


Compound hazards frequently involve interactions between natural and artificial processes, such as housing projects on steep slopes that exacerbate the danger of landslides or illegal waste disposal that raises the risk of urban flooding.


So: map in the planning, development and building of an area and you thereby mitigate risk. It’s a start. And #POLARON will be there, all the way. And that is why we attended #floodexpo2022 and had great fun, on the way!
