RASOR – Rapid Analysis and Spatialisation Of Risk (RASOR)
Project Overview
The Rapid Analysis and Spatialisation Of Risk (RASOR) project will develop a platform for multi-hazard risk analysis to support the full disaster management cycle, including targeted support for critical infrastructure monitoring and climate change impact assessment. RASOR adapts the new 12 m resolution TanDEM-X Digital Elevation Model (DEM) TanDEM-X to risk management applications, using it as a base layer to query data sets and develop specific disaster scenarios. RASOR overlays very high resolution, near-real-time, archived optical and radar satellite data combined with in situ data for global and local applications.
Project Results
The result of the project is an internet platform featuring climate hazards, infrastructure and economic fields to capture the vulnerability of spaces. It is an interactive map. http://www.rasor.eu/rasor/
Today the platform has about 330 users, offers 2589 data layers. Each user can create data to feed the database and can enter a hazard and see the consequences on a given territory.
RASOR overlays very high resolution, near-real-time, archived optical and radar satellite data combined with data for global and local applications. This allows users to project situations into the future and model multi-hazard risks before and during an event. Public authorities can determine the impact of coastal subsidence on flood protection over several years based on various storm surge scenarios and real and accurate information on subsidence. RASOR allows managers to use real-world scenarios to identify new mitigation or prevention measures and to integrate new real-time data into their operational system when organizing response activities.The platform is connected to a geodatabase.
