Welcome

RiskScape is a joint venture between GNS Science & NIWA to develop an easy-to-use multi-hazard impact model for New Zealand. 

The models primary purpose is to provide a framework to calculate the risk of impact to assets from different types of natural hazards. Knowledge of risk can then be applied to a range of natural hazard management activities including land-use planning, emergency management and asset management.

This website provides you with information about the RiskScape model and program and updates on new developments and activities. Registered RiskScape users can download the latest version of the RiskScape prototype with a FREE two month evaluation license. Users can also access the Forum to exchange their experiences with the software, post questions to the RiskScape team and contact the helpdesk.

The RiskScape team encourages new website vistors to become RiskScape users, download and test the model and then provide feedback through the forum so the RiskScape model can be continually improved and refined.
