This is the web repository of the Risk Modeller's Toolkit (RMTK). The RMTK is a suite of tools developed by scientists working at the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Foundation. The main purpouse of the RMTK is to provide a suite of tools for the creation of seismic risk input models and for the post-processing and visualisation of OpenQuake risk results.
###Plotting Tools
The toolkit contains the following functionalities for visualising seismic risk results (please refer to the documentation and tutorial for more information):
-
OpenQuake Hazard Results
- Seismic Hazard Curves
- Seismic Hazard Maps
- Uniform Hazard Spectra
- Ground Motion Fields
-
OpenQuake Risk Results
- Loss Exceedance Curves
- Loss Maps
- Collapse Maps
- Damage Distribution Statistics
###Risk Tools
The toolkit contains the following functionalities for post-processing probabilistic seismic hazard and risk results (please refer to the documentation and tutorial for more information):
- Probable Maximum Loss Calculator
- Logic-Tree Branch Selector
###Vulnerability Tools
The toolkit contains the following functionalities for constructing seismic risk input models (please refer to the documentation and tutorial for more information):
-
