Health & Crisis Mapping

Issues & Solutions

Analyzing spatial data to tackle global health challenges.

In Brief

Mapping technology platforms like ArcGIS enable Direct Relief to compile event-specific interactive maps of disaster response in near real-time.


Enhanced analytic tools – from optimized hotspotting to spatial regression analysis – allow Direct Relief to test hypotheses about the causes and consequences of humanitarian aid.


GIS has revolutionized Direct Relief’s ability to communicate the full scope of its work and do so accurately, openly, and comprehensively.
