The HazardNet platform

What HazardNet publishes

HazardNet is a multi-hazard early-warning decision-support system for Bangladesh. It combines a statistical classifier with independent physics proxies and publishes district-level outlooks for eight hazard classes across 7-day and 15-day horizons.

• Scope: the 64 districts of Bangladesh, grouped into 8 divisions.
• Output: one published forecast record per district, hazard class, horizon and forecast date.
• Honesty: forecast skill is not yet validated against observed outcomes. See the verification page.
• Methods: model code, dataset collection, training and benchmarking are research-private. Results and outputs are public.

Official warnings

Alert levels on this site are published at or below the configured ceiling for each hazard class and are never inflated. Where an official warning exists, it always takes precedence.

HazardNet is decision support, not an official warning service. Official warnings come from the Bangladesh Meteorological Department and the Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre, and HazardNet defers to them.
