Abstract
InaSAFE is free and open source software for developing realistic disaster impact scenarios for better disaster planning and response. Originally developed in Indonesia, it is now being used in many countries around the world to inform disaster management decision making with a strong scientific evidence base. Designed to be simple to use, InaSAFE can rapidly output the estimated impacts of a hazard event on a given exposure dataset and translate this information into a series of questions targeting particular disaster management actions. This supports disaster managers to make better decisions about the resources that they may need to respond to a disaster event. This presentation will demonstrate case studies of InaSAFE use for a range of hazards (earthquake, tsunami, volcanic ash and fire) for locations in Australia and the region. This will demonstrate InaSAFE's capability and its applicability to a diverse range of disaster management problems.
