HSR.health
A unified HSR.health family of health and disaster-response indicators designed to show how hazard, exposure, health status, social vulnerability, access, and place combine to shape risk.
What HERA is
HSR.health has developed health risk indices across hurricanes, extreme heat, wildfire, drought, healthcare access, social determinants, and related public-health challenges. HERA gives that work a common identity and an extensible analytical framework.
HERA is not a single score. It is a governed family of indicators and workflows that can be adapted to the event, geography, population, and decision being supported while retaining clear definitions and traceable inputs.
Event-specific exposure such as storm paths, heat conditions, wildfire impact, drought, or other environmental threats.
Age, health conditions, mobility needs, social vulnerability, and other factors that can change likely impact.
Healthcare resources, distance to care, community capacity, and other context relevant to response and recovery.
Outputs at the geography required for action, from communities and census units to counties, states, and regional areas.
HERA risk family
The initial HERA family reflects health-risk work HSR.health has already developed and piloted. Additional indicators can use the same governed approach as new hazards and health questions emerge.
Combines storm conditions with population health and social characteristics to help identify communities that may face greater health and medical needs during and after a hurricane.

Connects environmental conditions, population vulnerability, and local context to support earlier identification of communities at elevated heat-health risk.

Uses health, social, environmental, and economic context to characterize populations that may be more vulnerable to wildfire, smoke, infrastructure disruption, and related health effects.

Brings together drought conditions with health and population vulnerability to support resilience, resource planning, and understanding of communities facing greater health risk.
Discuss drought analytics →From GeoMD to HERA
HSR.health’s earlier GeoMD work demonstrated how geospatial analytics could connect social determinants, underlying health conditions, environmental exposure, healthcare access, and disaster conditions. HERA carries that history forward while giving the indicator portfolio a clearer identity for current AWS and HSR.health initiatives.
That history matters: the framework is grounded in applied use cases rather than created as a purely conceptual AI product.
HERA + Anna
Anna provides the governed interaction and execution layer around HERA. Users can ask questions, combine HERA indicators with registered data, compare places or populations, generate maps and tables, and inspect the provenance behind the result without relying on unconstrained agent behavior.
Build the next HERA use case
HSR.health can adapt the HERA framework to new geographies, health risks, datasets, and operational requirements where the underlying evidence supports the analysis.
