We believe that climate adaptation is a necessity, not a luxury, and communities deserve access to powerful software that helps them plan for the future. The challenge of climate change is complex – it implicates how municipalities plan, manage capital, and communicate to both residents and higher levels of government. Forerunner helps local communities do these things better by empowering them to access, understand, and mobilize local-level flood risk data at scale.
Design is at the core of everything we do and our software is built to be easy-to-use, so that the planners and floodplain managers preparing for our future can focus on the important stuff. We're obsessed with providing a radically better experience to manage risk and take pride in crafting beautiful, user-focused experiences.
