Plugin to drive and visualize OpenQuake engine results in QGIS Products OpenQuake QGIS Plugin Plugin to drive and visualize OpenQuake engine results in QGIS Share Facebook LinkedIn Description This plugin allows users to drive OpenQuake Engine calculations of physical hazard and risk, and to load the corresponding outputs as QGIS layers. For those outputs, data visualization tools are provided. The toolkit also enables users to develop composite indicators to measure and quantify social characteristics, and combine them with estimates of human or infrastructure loss. A post-earthquake recovery modeling framework is incorporated into the toolkit, to produce building level and/or community level recovery functions.

In 2004, during the 11th OECD-GFS Meeting, realizing the lack of venue to discuss earthquake science, the German delegation proposed to hold a workshop to discuss the issue. OUR HISTORY In 2004, during the 11th OECD-GFS Meeting, realising the lack of a venue to discuss earthquake science, the German delegation proposed to hold a workshop to discuss the issue. Over the next two years, a series of workshops and meetings culminated in the identification of a need to create a Global Earthquake Risk Mapping and Monitoring Programme or GEM in 2006. GEM’s financial feasibility received a critical boost in 2007 after MunichRe agreed to become its first and main private participant through a 5M Euro contribution for a period of five years. In the succeeding year, the OECD Global Science Forum selected EUCENTRE in Pavia, Italy as the host institution for the GEM Secretariat. Following two significant milestones, the GEM Foundation was incorporated in Pavia, Italy as a non-profit organization in 2009, giving the Foundation a legal identity with a vision of a world that is resilient to earthquakes.
