Abstract
"The CAPRA (Probabilistic Risk Assessment) Program uses a modular, free platform for probabilistic risk assessment of natural hazards. This platform is a Geographic Information System oriented to risk calculations based on hazard, exposure and physical vulnerability data. Through hazard mapping, risk assessment and cost-benefit analysis tools, the platform allows the user to determine conjoint or cascade risk on an inter-related multi-hazard basis (which distinguishes the platform from previous single hazard analyses) and to support pro-active risk management. It can also be used to design risk-financing strategies. ERN-Hurricane is a system of probabilistic modeling of hurricane threat, developed by ERN-AL. The program takes as input the recorded paths of historic hurricanes and hurricane generates stochastic paths that are consistent with the original path. Calculates threat scenarios by high winds, storm surge and heavy rain."
