1 The Rasor Platform Rapid Assessment and Spatialisation of Risk WHO WE ARE

2 WHERE WE ARE Founding: Partnership:

3 Increasing number of major disasters, and associated losses, worldwide. How to reduce these impacts? MITIGATION PREPAREDNESS PREVENTION RISK ASSESSMENT RASOR is a platform to perform multi-hazard risk analysis for the full cycle of disaster management, making scenario based predictions to support both short and long-term risk-related decisions. What do DRM Users Need? Up-to-date spatialised view of hazard extent (across several hazards) Up-to-date information on exposure of people and assets (and ability to project change) Comprehensive information on past disasters (to assist in risk identification) Ability to modify key parameters and project impact Ability to project cumulative effect of risk and correlations Ability to integrate analysis in a single tool Ability to produce information (layers) for ingestion in other tools

4 RASOR distinctive features RASOR distinctive features First Pivot Step Derived Indicators

5 RASOR distinctive features Web Platform, plug-in, mobile app Web Platform Q-GIS plug-in Mobile App

6 QGIS Exposure plug-in Mobile Apps Field data collection

7 Rasor structure

8 Graphical User Interface Guided process in building scenarios EXPOSURE layers HAZARD layers MONITOR VULNERABILITY functions Direct IMPACT Systemic IMPACT REPORT EO Contribution Satellite data are a critical component of the RASOR tool, both as input for scenario building and as feedback for validation: Optical/Radar to extract exposure information Interferometric data to monitor ground deformation (geohazards) EO Proxies to have an indication of vulnerability Validate numerical models (flood foot prints, grading maps)
