EMRAgis - analytical risk assessment tool for community risk reduction

Abstract

EMRAgis is a modern risk assessment tool. It is developed as an innovative fire prevention strategy for “Community risk reduction” (CCR) in Germany. The primary objective is to deal the assessment of personnel and material requirements of the local fire services based on reproducible empirical mathematical algorithm. These algorithms quantify the risk in a municipal area of discretion and deriving the demand of fire services. Therefore empirical approaches and efficiency investigations describe necessary measures. Simulations with geo-information systems of the improved measure allow quantified evidences of their efficiency for the local fire protection value. This new level of risk assessment needs a wide data collection. For an effective data handling a flexible and high-performance web-application had to be developed.
