Description:

The CAPRA Platform aims to strengthen institutional capacity for disaster risk assessment and communication and has been managed and owned by Uniandes (Universidad de los Andes) since 2017. It provides a series of tools for hazard (single and multiple unrelated), exposure and vulnerability assessment that can be used standalone, or integrated in the probabilistic risk assessment software: CAPRA-GIS. The hazard module includes software applications for geological (earthquake, tsunami, volcano), hydrogeological (drought, flood, hurricane) and climate change hazard assessment. The exposure module consists of a data entry software for collection of information about infrastructure potentially exposed to a hazard. Vulnerability modules enable users to develop vulnerability curves for each hazard class and asset, which are required for the probabilistic risk assessment. CAPRA-GIS v2.4 is the latest version of the probabilistic risk assessment software. It is a Geographic Information System intended for probabilistic risk calculations. Outputs from the hazard, exposure and vulnerability modules are in the correct format for importing into CAPRA-GIS for the risk assessment. It is freely available to download from https://ecapra.org/topics/capra-gis along with a user manual (in English).

Technical Considerations:

All tools are freely available to download from the CAPRA website and can be run on Microsoft Windows. Input data files for probabilistic risk assessment using CAPRA-GIS are generated from the hazard, exposure and vulnerability modules. User manuals are available online.

Key Words:

Probabilistic risk assessment; multiple hazard; exposure; vulnerability; climate change
