Areas of interest • Building stock characterization • Disaster risk - pre-event vulnerability - disaster assessment - post-event reconstruction progress • Energy use - existing stock - settlement pattern - rates of growth and shrinkage - verification of carbon reduction measures
A:3D models of cities: geometric characteristics can be captured, however construction type, age and occupancy needs to be inferred, or, B: field survey using sampling methods needs to be carried out.

FIVE RfP’s were published on the 18th Jan 2010, all concerning risk component of loss modelling, particularly building inventory (exposure) data collection methods. • Deadline for submission: 18 March 2010. • International consortia are being put together to bid for the RfP’s. www.globalearthquakemodel.org • Five RfP’s on: • GEM ontology and taxonomy: links with CityGML? • Global consequences database • Global exposure database: produce global exposure dataset using 4km x 4km grid cells • Inventory capture tools • Global vulnerability estimation methods
