Our purpose
Blu-H exists to translate high-quality hazard science into practical, decision-ready intelligence that supports preparedness, response, and long-term resilience.
We prioritise public-interest outcomes: transparency where possible, strong safeguarding, and responsible data use — especially when working with vulnerable people or in crisis contexts.
What we do
We focus on turning complex environmental data into clear signals, maps, and alerts — and ensuring those outputs can be trusted, interpreted, and acted on.
- Early warning & situational awareness: flood forecasting, rapid mapping and decision support.
- Products & prototypes: practical tools that can be used by responders and communities.
- Partnership delivery: collaborating with public agencies, NGOs, researchers and platforms.
- Evidence-led methods: clear documentation, version control, and traceable decision-making.
- Responsible operations: privacy-by-design and safeguarding, including clear reporting channels.
- Learning & scaling: pilots, evaluation, and operational playbooks that can travel.
Membership (in development)
Blu-H is preparing a membership model to support long-term legitimacy and sustainability. Membership is intended as affiliation and support — not control.
- We will maintain a member register as required by the statutes.
- Digital systems for sign-up, payments and communications will be implemented in phases.
- Some records will be held in separate systems for privacy and security (e.g., member data, signed documents).
Safeguarding and responsible practice
Blu-H expects to work in challenging international contexts and alongside communities impacted by hazards. We take safeguarding seriously — including clear rules for conduct, reporting, and escalation.
If you have a concern, please use the reporting channel listed on the Safeguarding page. (Add your final safeguarding URL here once published.)
