Using the RiskScape Engine and Platform for Risk-Informed Decision-Making
Disaster risk management often focuses on specific hazards, but a broader understanding of risks and how they intersect across various hazards and socio-economic factors is increasingly important. The challenge lies in providing researchers and practitioners with accessible tools that can analyse risk amidst the complexity of both natural hazards and socio-economic dynamics. RiskScape is our solution to this problem, offering a flexible engine and platform designed specifically for multi-hazard risk analysis, making it easier to inform decisions in disaster risk management globally. We invite researchers, technicians, government and emergency management practitioners, grad/postgraduate students, and risk information consumers to join out interactive Focus Day session on RiskScape. The objective of the session is to demonstrate use of the RiskScape Platform and Engine to build and use RiskScape models for a variety of use-cases. The session will use a mix of demonstrations and interactive exercises where participants will be able to get hands on and run RiskScape models on their own laptops. Upon completion of the workshop, participants will have a foundational understanding of how to use RiskScape’s features and will be equipped with the basic skills to construct risk models.
