Improved Disaster Response Capabilities through AI-Integration in the D-Resilio Platform, Reinforced by Vantiq and NTT DATA
In a groundbreaking collaboration, Vantiq and NTT DATA have announced the integration of Generative AI into NTT DATA's disaster information coordination platform, D-Resilio. This innovative move is set to significantly enhance real-time disaster response and emergency management, particularly in high-stakes environments like disaster response.
Marty Sprinzen, the co-founder and CEO of Vantiq, emphasised the importance of real-time intelligence during crises, stating that with Generative AI, Vantiq and NTT DATA are turning information into action at the speed of crisis. The AI-powered integration will be available starting in April 2025.
The Digital Timeline, a new concept introduced by NTT DATA for D-Resilio, uses AI to transform disaster response plans into dynamic, real-time action plans. This transformation is expected to optimise future response strategies using AI-powered learning from past disaster events.
One of the key advantages of this integration is real-time orchestration and automation. Vantiq’s platform automates the entire AI prompt workflow, continually generating and refining responses based on live sensor data, APIs, applications, and human input. This event-driven architecture allows systems to adapt on the fly, moving beyond static responses to deliver precise, context-aware actions instantly.
The platform’s low-code architecture also accelerates the development and deployment of mission-critical applications, supporting multi-agent collaboration with auditability and trustworthiness—essential for coordinated disaster response efforts.
Moreover, the partnership aims to scale the D-Resilio platform across industries, enabling more organisations to benefit from cutting-edge AI in disaster preparedness and response. D-Resilio, first launched in 2023 to support municipalities in streamlining disaster response efforts, is now set to transform emergency management on a broader scale.
The AI-enhanced Digital Timeline has broad applications, including corporate business continuity planning (BCP) and other sectors requiring real-time crisis management. Climate change is causing more frequent, intense disasters, and traditional response systems are struggling to keep up, according to Sprinzen. He believes that with these advancements, chaos can be turned into control during disasters.
The D-Resilio platform, integrated with VANTIQ's real-time Generative AI (GenAI) platform, will now detect and process real-time environmental changes, continuously updating emergency timelines. This will provide data-driven action recommendations, reducing reliance on manual decision-making.
Sprinzen also stated that with the help of Generative AI, first responders, emergency teams, and public safety officials can predict risks, act in real time, and make faster, more informed decisions during disasters. Every second counts during high-pressure, rapidly evolving situations, and emergency teams need to react decisively, not defensively.
The ability to anticipate crises, act instantly, and save lives at scale will define the future of public safety, according to Sprinzen. He cited examples such as the fires in Los Angeles and floods in North Carolina as instances where fast reaction times during disasters are crucial.
This innovative approach has earned Vantiq notable industry recognition, including the 2025 IoT Infrastructure Innovation Award and the Intellyx Digital Innovator Award, underscoring the practical impact and reliability of their AI-powered solutions in critical, real-world conditions.
With the integration of Generative AI into D-Resilio, the platform is set to provide first responders with the tools they need to react decisively during disasters, ensuring improved outcomes in crisis situations.
