You will see the next disaster coming.

Gistin builds a 3D digital twin of your territory and sells three applications on top of it: GISFlood for floods, GISFire for wildfires, GISLightning for lightning. Each one tells you what will hit your site, so you can act before it happens.

For governments, infrastructure operators, developers, insurers and emergency services.

Three hazards, one engine

Digital twin

One 3D twin of your territory. Every hazard runs on it.

GISTwin is the high-fidelity 3D twin of your area: terrain, buildings, roads and networks. Rain, fire and lightning scenarios play out on it, on live, historical or forecast weather, and every result is compared with the reference situation, so the decision can be defended in a budget.

  • A vulnerability score per building, run after run
  • Submersion points on the road and rail network
  • Decision dashboards and the alerts you configure

What you get

Your territory is modelled once, then the applications you need are added on top. A pilot on one district or asset first, then an annual licence.

Floods

See every street that will flood. Test the fix before you pay for it.

In April 2024, close to two years of rain fell on the UAE in under 24 hours. GISFlood replays storms like this one on a 3D twin of your site and shows where the water goes, how deep and how fast.

  • Water depth and time of arrival at every building and street
  • 10, 50 or 100-year storms, with or without drainage
  • Your proposed fix tested against the same storm, compared with today

What you get

A pilot on one district or asset in six to eight weeks, then an annual licence for your territory. Browser app in development, end of 2026.

Wildfires

Every active fire, live. Alerts on the zones you protect.

GISFire puts satellite fire detections, firefighting aircraft, water drops and wind on one live map. We built it when the trees of our own Landes forest burned. The public map stays free and open to everyone; GISFire Pro watches the zones you choose and alerts you.

  • Satellite detections every few minutes, forest and industrial fires
  • Aircraft, water drops, wind and lightning strikes on the same map
  • Seven days of replay, fire by fire, with downloadable data

What you get

Public map: free, no account. GISFire Pro: alerts on your zones from €12 per month excl. VAT, for France and Europe. Fire data and maps on request.

Lightning

Know which of your structures lightning will hit, before the season.

Several organisations asked us to assess lightning ahead of time for specific sites. GISLightning maps where strikes cluster around your site and how exposed each structure is, so the decision is taken before the storm, not after.

  • Strike density around your site, from years of records
  • Exposure of each structure: masts, lines, tanks, roofs
  • A written assessment, delivered before the season

What you get

One assessment per site, quoted on request. Web application in development.
