The Pacific Disaster Center (PDC) has been in operation since February 1996. The PDC is a public/private partnership managed by the University of Hawaii (UH) under a cooperative agreement with the Department of Defense. It is functionally within the organization of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics) (OUSD(AT&L)) and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The PDC is a world-recognized authority and leader in science and information technology applications relating to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HA/DR). PDC develops new and innovative technologies to operate an (unclassified) integrated multi-hazard hazard monitoring, early warning and decision support system, called RAPIDS, for the department.
