Abstract
The OpenQuake platform allows users to combine and use open-source applications with homogenized data and models. With the OpenQuake Engine - GEM’s state-of-the-art software for seismic hazard and risk assessment - users can calculate seismic hazard and risk transparently and according to the latest science, from the global to the local scale. From ground motion fields to hazard spectra to maps of estimated human loss and mean economic loss; users will be able to produce a great variety of custom outputs by combining own models, data and (local) knowledge with the different GEM products. The platform leverages upon open-source geospatial technologies to allow users to work in an intuitive, map-based 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 in- and outputs. It will link users from around the globe so they can work together to assess risk.
