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-Volcan is a specialized system in the modeling of volcanic hazard. The program allows to model probabilistically the hazar that a given volcano can generate, in terms of its eruptive history, the magnitude of the eruptions (VEI), and volcanic products can generate. ERN-Volcan probabilistically integrates all the variables included in the model for volcanic hazard assessment of CAPRA, to generate a set of stochastic scenarios, each characterized by an annual frequency of occurrence for each type of product (lavas , pyroclastic flows, ash), which collectively are representative of the threat provided by the volcano analysis."
