This open-source research application provides an application researchers can use to predict regional damage and loss estimates for a region subjected to a natural hazard.
The computations are performed in a workflow application. That is, the numerical simulations are actually performed by a number of different applications. The rWHALE backend software runs these different applications for the user, taking the outputs from some programs and providing them as inputs to others. The design of the R2D application is such that researchers are able to modify the backend applications to utilize their own application in the workflow computations. This will ensure researchers are not limited to using the default applications we provide and will be enthused to provide their own applications for others to use.
This application is under active development. Researchers are encouraged to comment on what additional features and applications they would like to see in this application. If you want it, chances are many of your colleagues also would benefit from it.
