The RiskBox project aims to develop a risk management system using geospatial technologies. It involves creating GIS tools and models integrated in GRASS GIS to assess natural hazards. These tools will be made available via web processing services. A web interface called ProtectMe will allow users to access risk analyses and visualize hazard areas and mitigation infrastructure. The project also includes education programs to teach risk management skills using open source GIS tools. Overall, RiskBox seeks to improve natural disaster risk assessment and mitigation planning through open sharing of geomatic and risk analysis methods.
