Blu-H develops practical tools, datasets and approaches that help humanitarian organisations and national agencies better understand and respond to environmental hazards.
Our work focuses on three connected areas: preserving reliable environmental data, improving flood prediction and making complex information easier to use in the field.
Collaboration is central to how Blu-H works. Our international member and volunteer-powered community brings together people with scientific, technical, humanitarian and operational experience who contribute their time and expertise to Blu-H.
We partner with humanitarian organisations, national agencies, researchers and technology providers to develop and test solutions around real operational needs.
We are committed to transparency, collaboration and the responsible use of environmental and humanitarian data. We share documentation, workflows and software openly so that others can review, improve and reuse our work. We use GitHub as a platform for technical collaboration, while applying appropriate safeguards to protect sensitive humanitarian and public-interest data.
