OPENQUAKE AN INTEGRATED SUITE FOR RISK ASSESSMENT

Platform Scientific & STAKEHOLDER COMMUNITY local data, models, results

The OpenQuake suite of open-source software comprises the Platform, the Engine, and a great variety of (desktop) Tools for modeling, and for accessing and exploring GEM products, as well as uploading and sharing data & findings.

The OpenQuake Engine is GEM’s state-of-the-art software for seismic hazard and risk assessment at varying scales of resolution, from global to local. It can be used on a cluster, in the cloud or on a laptop. It is open-source, fully transparent and can be used with GEM or user-developed models to carry out scenario-based and probabilistic calculations. Users can produce many different types of output related to hazard, loss and damage (maps, curves, plots and much more).

The platform leverages upon open-source geospatial technologies to allow users to work in an intuitive, mapbased environment. Users can explore earthquake hazard and risk by interacting with dynamic maps, indicators and graphs. They can also develop their own maps by combining datasets, and they can upload new data for continuous improvement of datasets for (local) risk assessments.

Sharing of data and risk information, best practice and approaches is key to assessing risk better. The platform is to serve as a clearinghouse for all those critical inputs and outputs. It will link users from around the globe so they can work together to assess risk.

Maps of hazard, physical risk and socioeconomic vulnerability culminating into a map of total or integrated seismic risk for Portugal. The maps are produced by GEM staff using OpenQuake software and approaches collaboratively developed in GEM for worldwide risk assessment, plus a dataset from Portugal. The integrated risk map displays expected mean loss caused by building damage, taking into account socio-economic vulnerability.

OPENQUAKE AN INTEGRATED SUITE FOR RISK F RISK ASSESS A MENT ASSESSMENT

THE TOOLS A wide range of open-source source (software) tools is being developed that allow you to calculate, share and explore earthquake risk. Most of them will be embedded in the platform, but others will be stand alone or desktop, such as a number of data capture (crowdsourcing) tools, tools for processing data and the OpenQuake modelling tools, which comprise the socioeconomic and integrated risk indicator toolkit, hazard modeling tools and the event catalogue homogenization tool.

The event catalogue homogenisation tool helps to merge and harmonise global and local catalogues.

The GEM Secretariat hosted a week of joint programming organized by GFDRR which led to cross-fertilisation between various organisations working on risk assessment and management tools, such as the World Food Programme of the UN, Itaca and JRC.

“An intense week that led to making the InaSAFE tool (developed for disaster risk reduction in Indonesia) applicable worldwide, to new insights that help the OpenQuake platform and tools move along, reinforced (new) collaborations and resulted in knowledge sharing on many fronts”

OPENQUAKE

ENGINE V1.0

THE PLATFORM The platform will serve as a hub for integrated risk assessment, allowing both power and standard users to combine GEM products in many different ways to obtain output for science, risk assessment, risk awareness creation and risk management.

By building on the latest opensource technologies also leveraged by the World Bank’s GFDRR labs with whom we collaborate on this, the platform will make for an interactive, dynamic and collaborative environment for GEM products.

Initially these products will be ‘global’ and provide a rough overview; but through partnerships and collaboration, more and more results and resources will be applicable for local risk assessment after 2014.

After 3.5 years of open-source test-driven development, the first version of the OpenQuake Engine is now available, together with a user instruction manual, tutorials and demo-files. For all features and capabilities please refer to the flyer inside the GEM brochure.
