1 Risk Global Component Inventory Data Capture Tools Capturing building inventory data for earthquake risk assessment: The GEM perspective NCEO/CEOI Joint Science Conference, Nottingham 2/9/212 John Bevington, ImageCat Project Manager Inventory Data Capture Tools

2 ImageCat US (Long Beach, CA.) & UK (Guildford) offices R&D and Consultancy Application of EO and GIS data and tools for disaster risk management Post-disaster response Exposure development Recovery monitoring Cat model development Commercial arm: Exposure data development and enhancement Post-disaster response damage and loss assessment

3 ImageCat Collaborative Partners WORLDWIDE NORTH AMERICA EUROPE ASIA-PACIFIC

4 THE GLOBAL EARTHQUAKE MODEL Risk Global Component: Inventory Data Capture Tools

5 Catastrophe modelling Risk modelling helps answer: Where can events occur? How big will they be? What is the potential damage, economic and human losses? What are the financial consequences? Exposure Vulnerability Hazard Financial

6 Aims of IDCT Inventory Data Capture Tools Open source suite of tools for inventory generation Remote sensing Field observations Provide supplementary training and user guides Tailored for a variety of skill levels Per-building to city-wide scale Spatial Tiers Level 3 Building Neighborhood Level 2 City Province Level 1 Country Region Level Global

9 IDCT Workflow - Basic

10 Task 1. Remote Sensing Goals Extraction of inventory boundary data from satellite or aerial imagery Multi-scale: from building footprints to urban/rural boundaries Generation of attributes: Per-building: including building height; roof type; building regularity Per-region: urban/rural; homogenous zones (e.g. land use, occupancy type, lateral load resisting system) Post-earthquake damage assessment tools Set of training and application guidelines for all tools Tools Open-source remote sensing toolkit QGIS, GRASS, Google Earth, BREC4GEM Open-source GIS functions for creating, cleaning & modifying data Crowdsourcing interface for damage assessment

11 Task 1. Remote Sensing Remote sensing & BREC testing inventory generation Remotely- Sensed Data Multispectral optical data Classification Supervised Unsupervised Building Classification BREC tool Resulting Footprint

12 Thailand (Com/Ind) Chile (Mixed) Thailand (Res) Pakistan (Mixed)

13

14 Protocol Development Challenge how to explain uncertainty to non-expert users Protocols Step-by-step guide for using QGIS, GRASS, BREC, Google Earth includes pre-processing, extraction of urban/non-urban areas, land-use classification, BREC footprint extraction, regularisation & cleaning data

15 IDCT Workflow - Basic

16 Direct Observation field tools Multi-platform Windows and Android OSs Standardized collection - GEM Taxonomy Contextual menus Geo-referenced collection. Support for ancillary media photos, video, voice

17 Direct Observation Tools Windows OS
