-TerraMA² ​is intended for presenting an operational system ​to monitor warnings of environmental risks . The system searches for current data by means of the internet and incorporates ​them to its database. ​Comparing ​risk maps or some defined model, these recent data are analyzed for verification of risks. An alert is then created for each risk situation, ​and warning ​notifications are issued ​for all users.+TerraMA² ​provides services ​to search ​current data through ​the internet and to incorporate ​them to its database. ​Other services analyze new data with risk maps with some defined model and issue early warning for registered ​users.
