Abstract
Geoscience Australia has collaboratively developed a number of open source software models and tools to estimate hazard, impact and risk to communities for a range of natural hazards to support disaster risk reduction in Australia and the region. These models and tools include: - ANUGA - a collaboration between the Australian National University (ANU) and GA to develop hydrodynamic software; - EQRM - earthquake risk model; - TCRM - tropical cyclone risk model; - PythonFall3D - python wrapper for an existing volcanic ash model; - TsuDAT - a collaboration between GA, the Australia-Indonesia Facility for Disaster Reduction, the ANU National Computing Infrastructure (NCI), OpenGeo and the World Bank to develop the tsunami data access tool; - RICS - rapid inventory collection system; - FiDAT - field data analysis tool. This presentation will discuss the drivers for developing these models in open source software and the benefits to the end-users in the emergency management and planning community as well as the broader research community. Key challenges in the risk modelling process will be discussed and how these may be addressed through the enhancement of existing models and the development of new models and workflows. Example challenges include image analysis for the development of building information from high resolution photography, project of future communities and reducing uncertainty in the frequency of natural hazard events. These challenges can be progressed through collaboration in the mathematical community.
