An important goal of these activities is to build capacity among national and local governments and international development professionals working in disaster risk management. A key decision in these activities is the choice of modelling tool that will be used to address the hazard, exposure, and/or risk question under consideration. This document presents an objective analysis of freely available hazard and risk modelling software in order to facilitate selection of appropriate tools for various DRM activities. There have been previous evaluations of freely available modelling tools across various natural hazards, but this is the first multi-hazard systematic review using a set of consistent criteria. The analysis covers hazard risk models for cyclone (wind), storm surge and tsunami, earthquake, and flood.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO INFORMATIONAFTERSHOCKSALGORITHMSAPIAPPLICATION PROGRAMMINGAVAILABILITY OF DATABACKUPBACKUP SYSTEMSBASICBEST PRACTICECADCALCULATORSCAPABILITIESCAPABILITYCASUALTIESCASUALTYCITIESCODESCODINGCOLLABORATIONCOLLABORATION TOOLSCOMMERCIAL SOFTWARECOMPONENTSCOMPUTINGCONNECTIVITYCOPYRIGHTCUSTOMIZATIONDATA ACCESSDATESDIGITALDISASTERDISASTER MANAGEMENTDISASTER REDUCTIONDISASTER RISKDOMAINSDRINKING WATERDRME-MAILEARTHQUAKEEARTHQUAKESEMERGENCY MANAGEMENTEMERGENCY RESPONSEEMERGENCY SERVICEENGINEERINGENGINEERSEVACUATIONEXPERT JUDGMENTFATALITIESFATALITYFIREFIRESFLOODFLOOD CONTROLFLOOD DAMAGEFLOODEDFLOODINGFLOODSFORTRANFREEWAREFUNCTIONALITYGAGAUGEGENERATORGRAPHICAL USER INTERFACEGRAPHICAL USER INTERFACESGRAPHICSGUIGUISHARD DRIVEHARDWAREHURRICANEHURRICANESINFORMATION SYSTEMINSTALLATIONINTERFACESINTEROPERABILITYINVENTORYJAVALANDSLIDELANDSLIDESLEARNINGLICENSELICENSESLINUXMAC OSMARKUPMARKUP LANGUAGEMATERIALMIDDLEWARENATURAL HAZARDNATURAL HAZARDSNETWORKSNEXT GENERATIONNUMBER OF USERSOATSOPEN ACCESSOPEN SOURCE SOFTWAREOPERATING SYSTEMOPERATING SYSTEMSPCPDFPROGRAMMING LANGUAGEPROGRAMSQUERIESRAMREAL-TIME DATARESULTSRICERISK ANALYSISRISK ASSESSMENTRISK REDUCTIONROMSCREENSSENSITIVITY ANALYSESSENSITIVITY ANALYSISSERIAL NUMBERSSERVERSIMULATIONSOFTWARE DEVELOPERSSOFTWARE LICENSESSOFTWARE LICENSINGSOFTWARE MODULESSOFTWARE PACKAGESOFTWARE PACKAGESSOFTWARE REQUIREMENTSSOURCE CODESPREADSHEETSTANDARD FORMATSSTORMSUPERCOMPUTERSTAXONOMYTECHNICAL DOCUMENTTECHNICAL EXPERTISETECHNICAL SKILLSTECHNICAL UNIVERSITYTELEPHONETEMPORARY HOUSINGTROPICAL CYCLONETROPICAL STORMSTSUNAMITSUNAMISUSABILITYUSERUSER COMMUNITIESUSER COMMUNITYUSERSUSESVIRTUAL COMMUNITYWEBWEB PORTALWEBSITEWIND SPEEDWIND SPEEDSWIND STORMXML10.1596/20677
