The SELENA–RISe Open Risk Package

The SELENA–RISe Open Risk Package consists of the two separate software tools SELENA (Seismic Loss Estimation using a Logic Tree Approach) and RISe (Risk Illustrator for SELENA). While SELENA is the computational platform for earthquake damage and loss assessment for any given study area, RISe can be used in order to illustrate all geo-referenced input, inventory and output files on Google^TM Earth. RISe thereby translates SELENA’s ASCII files into KML files that can be read by Google^TM Earth.

Both tools are provided free of charge and are distributed under the GNU Public License (GPL). The SELENA–RISe Open Risk Package is hosted on the web-based open source repository SourceForge. Please visit http://selena.sourceforge.net for detailed information on both tools. The software and their corresponding source codes can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/selena/files/.
