VIGIRISKS platform, a web-tool for single and multi-hazard risk assessment

The VIGIRISKS web platform, designed and developed by the French Geological Survey (BRGM), enables storing, scenario design, documentation, access and execution of scientific computations for multi-risks mapping. The platform insures geohazards data management, reproducibility of risks calculations, allows information transparency and improving efficiency by easing collaborative work and sharing results and practices.

The scientific scope is multi-risk mapping, including cascading effects, in the domain of natural hazard (earthquake, landslide and submersion) from the phenomenon modelling to the impact evaluation on exposed elements such as buildings. VIGIRISKS platform intends to have a wide range of methods for calculating hazard and susceptibility and relations between risk and vulnerability for calculating damage. Workflow for data analysis, preparation and transformation are also in the scope of this platform in order to facilitate the work of scientists in manipulating their datasets.
