Abstract

Catastrophe models capable of rapid data ingestion, loss estimation and visualization are required for post-event analysis of catastrophic events such as earthquakes. This paper describes the design and development of the Automated Post-Event Earthquake Loss Estimation and Visualization (APE-ELEV) system for real-time estimation and visualization of losses incurred due to earthquakes. A model for estimating expected losses due to earthquakes in near real-time is described and implemented. Since immediately post-event data is often available from multiple disparate sources, a geo-browser is described that helps users to visualize and integrate hazard, exposure and loss data.
