The aim of the present study is to introduce a probabilistic approach to determine the components of the risk evaluation for rainfall-induced earthflows in medium scale. The Catakli catchment area (Cayeli, Rize, Turkey) was selected as the application site of this study. The investigations were performed in four different stages: (i) evaluation of the conditioning factors, (ii) calculation of the probability of spatial occurrence, (iii) calculation of the probability of the temporal occurrence, and (iv) evaluation of the consequent risk. For the purpose, some basic concepts such as “Risk Cube”, “Risk Plane”, and “Risk Vector” were defined. Additionally, in order to assign the vulnerability to the terrain units being studied in medium scale, a new more robust and more objective equation was proposed. As a result, considering the concrete type of roads in the catchment area, the economic risks were estimated as —in case the failures occur on the terrain units including element at risk, and —in case the risks arise from surrounding terrain units. The risk assessments performed in medium scale considering the technique proposed in the present study will supply substantial economic contributions to the mitigation planning studies in the region.

The Impact

We introduce an open-source software for fire risk assessment named Aamks. We provide a brief overview of the following aspects of the platform: the motivation for creating Aamks, the architecture of the platform, the user interface, the intended workflow for conducting fire safety analyses, the probabilistic approach to fire risk assessment, the geometry processing, the reasoning from the topology of the building (i.e. automatic planning of exit routes), the interactions amongst the moving evacuees, the impact of smoke on humans and finally the results and the visualization.
