Tasks to be done in 2021

Damage calculator

• Run the calculator using data of other regions to make sure it works in a generic way
• Separate input-reading part from the rest of the calculator for probable future input format change
• Have the calculator run successfully in case of a mixed exposure model (when the exposure-type is not cell (residual in fact) nor building)
• Have tests running for the calculator
• Improve calculation speed
• Make the calculator run with inputs stored in a '.ini' file
• Have logging used in the calculator
• Remove the input files if they can be created within extra coding inside the script (such as --cell-ids)
• Have post-processings of the results as python scripts to create ready-to-map damage files
• Make it more user-friendly, such as adding the ability to use fragility functions with any damage states, not only four
• Run the calculations using different cores (running in parallel)

visualization

• Create a nice template for plotting:
  • Damage and risk results
  • Exposure models
  • Differences in either results or exposure models
• Find the best way to visualize either results or exposure models of types:
  • Cell(residual)
  • Building
  • Aggregated
• Find out new plots to better compare the results of different distributions (different exposure models)
• Add scripts to the calculator to automatically create initial plots of necessary maps or figures

loss calculator

• Compute losses using a vulnerability model
• Compute losses after a damage calculation using a consequence model
• Write a function to create a vulnerability function using a fragility and consequence given

More sub-tasks will be added.

Please everyone feel free to add to the tasks or comment.
