open-gira

This open-source snakemake workflow can be used to analyse environmental risks to infrastructure networks using global open data.

We can use open-gira to analyse open data on roads, railways and their exposure to river flooding, or electricity transmission lines and how they're affected by tropical cyclones.

open-gira is a work in progress.

Goals

• Automated pipeline for reproducible analysis anywhere in the world
• Maps per-country and of larger areas
• Charts/stats of exposure per admin region, per hazard type, scenario, epoch
• Consider transport, electricity, water, communications systems
• Consider river flooding, storm surge coastal flooding, tropical cyclones
• Estimate direct damages to physical networks
• Estimate indirect effects of disruption - people affected, economic activity disrupted

Non-goals

• Using closed data, which may be appropriate for other projects or use-cases
• Detailed operational/engineering level simulation
• Long-term planning
