•Creates a window and conduit to global free and commercial environmental and risk
data, tools and services and allows a space for rapid innovation of these from the research
sector
•A platform which is open access - thus allowing the wealth of data, tools and services
available globally to be sign-posted and accessible, thus avoiding continued duplication of
efforts
•Sign post data available across the world that can be used for the assessment of and
verification of risk in accordance with global financial solvency regulations (e.g. EU Solvency
II), including greater transparency on modelled assumptions
•Encourages the integration and standardisation of data and modelling standards for
risk assessment, thus providing an understanding of levels of environmental and disaster risk,
beyond the insurance sector - into cities and industry - encouraging greater investment in
resilient systems.
•Educate new markets for risk information, thus acting as a catalyst for growth in the
climate, adaptation and risk assessment sectors

Oasis for Resilient Cities and Adaptation - Architecture
Stakeholder Interface
The foundation consists of environmental
hazard and risk data, covering such domains
as flooding, storm, and landslide.
The middle tier provides tools for the viewing
and manipulation of the data and links to third
party service providers, advisory, and
consultancy to better understand the impacts
and to develop adaptation plans.
The top tier provides access to the city and
local government officers and officials, critical
infrastructure providers, citizens and
businesses. Access to confidential data is
assured.
