GlobMaps Proprietary API

Risk Map API
Climate Risk, Scored.

A single API call returns a composite climate risk score (0–100) for any coordinate on Earth — combining 7 authoritative global data sources into one actionable number.

Why Risk Map API?

Raw public data is free. The insight — and the infrastructure to deliver it in milliseconds — is what you pay for.

Global Coverage

Any latitude/longitude on Earth, no geographic restrictions.

Real-Time Pipeline

GloFAS + NASA FIRMS updated every 3 hours. Composite score refreshed continuously.

Proprietary Scoring

7-source weighted model validated against historical disaster records.

Transparent Sources

Every response includes data_sources[] — you know exactly what went in.

How Our Scoring Works

Input sources → GlobMaps processing layer → Composite risk score 0–100

#	Input Dataset	Source	Update	GlobMaps Processing	Component	Weight	Output Field
1	Flood probability forecast	🌊 GloFAS — EU Copernicus	Real-time	Normalize 0–100, extract peak 7-day window	Flood Risk Index	35%	`flood_score`
2	Temperature & precipitation anomaly	🌡 ERA5 — ECMWF	Daily	Compare vs 30-year baseline, compute z-score	Drought Component	15%	`drought_score`
3	Active fire radiative power + density	🔥 NASA FIRMS	Every 3 hrs	Kernel density estimation within radius	Wildfire Component	20%	`wildfire_score`
4	Active disaster alerts (flood / storm / fire)	⚡ GDACS — UN	Real-time	Event severity multiplier (+0–25 pts boost)	Active Event Boost	+bonus	`active_events[]`
5	Digital elevation model (30 m)	🗻 SRTM — NASA	Static	Slope + low-lying area classification	Terrain Vulnerability	10%	`terrain_class`
6	Historical flood extent (1984–present)	💧 Global Surface Water — JRC/EU	Annual	Flood frequency index per cell	Historical Flood Frequency	12%	`historical_flood_freq`
7	Population count per grid cell	👥 WorldPop / GPW — UN	Annual	Exposure weighting — scale impact by density	Exposure Weighting	8%	`population_exposure`
—	Composite weighted sum	All sources above	—	Clamp to 0–100 → assign category	✦ Final Score	100%	`risk_score`

Risk Categories

risk_category is derived directly from risk_score.

0–29

Low

No concerning signals detected.

30–59

Medium

Elevated conditions — monitor closely.

60–79

High

Prepare contingency plans now.

80–100

Critical

Active event or extremely high probability.
