National event-based loss and damage database
The demonstrator from the FFG/KIRAS project CESARE combines the harmonized damages and events from the database into a web-GIS portal. It offers the possibility of temporal and/or geographical aggregation, various filtering options, statistical analysis functions, and different visualizations. The data can be selected by date, type of hazard, and affected element. In addition, a preselection of individual events based on frequently searched disasters is available.
Furthermore, dashboards are available that provide more detailed information on how losses and damage sums are distributed among assets, hazards, and administrative areas. In addition, the losses and damages are compared to the SENDAI indicators for global goals A, B, and C, and the temporal development of the respective damages and losses is shown.
The demonstrator is a closed, password-protected system that can be made accessible to stakeholders. To apply for access, please contact us.
