Welcome to the official OSRE site.

Increasingly, economic justification is required for decisionmaking on natural hazards mitigation projects. Therefore, natural hazards loss estimation software, such as HAZUS and CATS in the USA, LessLoss in the EU, and EXTREMUM in Russia, are in various stages of development. A common property of these programs is their closed nature, the source code is not open. Open Source code is a new trend in software development in general, and open source organizations are at the center of a broad thriving movement providing open tools for software development and applications. In earthquakes, OpenSHA (Open Seismic Hazard Analysis,) and the Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (OpenSees) are projects which provide the hazard, and structural modeling modules for loss estimation, respectively. Currently there is a lack of an Open Source Risk Engine. OSRE aims to fill this void.

Please Note:
The site is currently under construction. The site can be modified only by the members of the OSRE team until is finalized.
