What is InaSAFE?

InaSAFE is a plugin for QGIS software. It aims to produce realistic natural hazard impact scenarios for better planning,

preparedness and response activities, using hazard and exposure geographic data.

InaSAFE History

• Soft launch – Understanding Risk Forum 2012 • Version1.0 – Launch at AMCDRR (ASEAN Ministral Conference for

Disaster Risk Reduction) in 2012• Training across 6 provinces in Indonesia as part of Scenario Development

for Contingency Planning which includes OpenStreetMap, QGIS, and InaSAFE• Version 2.0 – Launch at InaDRTG (Indonesia Disaster Relief Training

Ground) in 2014

Where do I get Hazard information?

Hazard refers to a singular disaster scenario

Where do I get Exposure information?

Exposure in InaSAFE refers to:

• population density - number of people found in a certain area• important infrastructure - buildings, bridges etc

Impact Function

The core to InaSAFE is its capability of having multiple Impact functions specific to the input data.

InaSAFE Functionality

InaSAFE Output

InaSAFE Case Studies – Bengawan Solo

1. Provide hazard layer2. OSM Training for data collection3. Collecting exposure data4. InaSAFE simulation (building & people affected)5. GIS analysis to support contingency planning

InaSAFE Case Studies – Papandayan

• 22.321 buildings being mapped• Mapping evacuation sites based on Guntur and Papandayan

volcanoes Contingency Plan• Impact map for Papandayan and Guntur Volcanoes based on

essential buildings and other infrastructures already mapped• Short training for 5 BPBD staffs

InaSAFE Case Studies – Makassar Flood

InaSAFE Case Studies – Realtime Earthquake

WebSAFE – Web Version of InaSAFE by Project NOAH (Philippines)

Other reference and case studies:

• Presentation presented at Chengdu Forum on UN-GGIM• Wired Magazine• Black Duck Award• AIFDR - ASEAN Training• GFDRR - Preparing nations to be a step ahead• FutureGov

- How can government open data and open source enable disaster risk management

Now it’s your turn!

Let’s practice!

• :/plugins/inasafe/supporters.png

• InaSAFE has been jointly developed by Indonesian Government-BNPB, Australian Government-AIFDR and the World Bank-GFDRR. These agencies and the individual software developers of InaSAFE take no responsibility for the correctness of outputs from InaSAFE or decisions derived as a consequence.

Group Work

1. Use OSM Building Point as Exposure2. Hazard layer – G1: Q10 - G3: Q50 G2: Q20 - G4: Q753. Aggregate by TA (the file is inside mw_lowershire_ta, use AREA column)4. Make PDF

Things to present:

•The result, and try to answer some questions from Action Checklist.•Do you have any difficulties using impact function for Flood with infrastructure exposure?•What can you do with the information from InaSAFE output? And how you will use the information?•Do you think it's helpful enough/not?•If not, what else do you think that should be added into the output?
