Talk Outline
• Background
• Outcomes & directions
• Q & A
Background
• Multiple available tools which can be used for evidence-based natural hazards risk assessment:
– E.g. PARTneR/RiskScape, PACSAFE, Other…
– There are also multiple projects associated with the development of key baseline datasets which the outputs of risk tools are based on (e.g. PCRAFI-II re asset data, Other…)
Background
• Framework for Resilient Development in the Pacific 2017 – 2030 calls for the uptake, use, and integration of risk assessment tools at a wide range of scales:– to help facilitate disaster risk
reduction
– To help build resilience
Background
• Efforts undertaken to align currently active risk tool development projects:
– e.g. PARTneR-PACSAFE alignment
Background – PARTneR Project
3 year pilot project
NZ Aid funding
Five partner organisations
2 Pacific Island Countries
Background – PARTneR ProjectOutputs
Pacific risk mapping and decision support tool developed
Data collation and management system developed
Risk tool training developed and applied
Sustainable partnership model developed and rolled-out
Background – PARTneR ProjectInvolves the tailoring of the RiskScape tool – which uses hazard models and asset information to calculate losses and other impacts:
• Uses default or user-input functions
• Can be tailored
• Run scenarios
• Stand alone software
• Mapping and statistical outputs
• Accessible and easy to use (with technical support provided)
Background – PARTneR Project
Hazard types:- Flood- Landslide- Wind- Storm surge/tide- Tsunami- Earthquake- Snowfall- Volcano ……etc
Key Outputs:- Asset exposures- Damage states- Reinstatement costs- Human losses- Human displacement- Exported as .csv or .kml- etc

Background – PACSAFE Project
The PacSAFE project is a response to demand from Pacific Island Countries for tools to better understand disaster impacts. The PacSAFE software tool is designed and developed for national disaster management offices and related agencies involved in planning for, preparing for and responding to natural disasters.
Background – PACSAFE Project
The PacSAFE project, funded by the Government of Australia, withtechnical support from Geoscience Australia, aims to provide a toolthat will enhance the ability of disaster managers to prepare forand respond to disasters, and to reduce the impacts of disasters onthe local population and infrastructure.

Further details on PacSAFE Project and Tool in the next presentation by Dr. Craig Arthur, Geoscience Australia.

Outcomes & DirectionsFactsheet for users of risk tools
Outcomes & Directions• The PARTneR and PacSAFE teams are actively collaborating on
fundamental requirements for effective use of risk tools:
– Integrated national and regional disaster risk data management including Pacific standards;
– Sustainable and targeted training.
– Standardising on disaster, risk resilience data collection, storage and exchange in Pacific.
– Developing strong and sustainable institutional partnerships between risk decision support tools, stakeholders and users across international technical agencies, Pacific countries and implementing partners.
• Work and align with other related projects….
