Multi-exposure and custom reporting

“The InaSAFE multi-exposure tool supports using more than one exposure dataset with a single hazard.”

In some cases it is interesting to be able to carry out an analysis with a number of different exposure datasets. For example, you may wish to know how many people, buildings and roads might be affected by a flood. InaSAFE provides a tool that lets you carry out such an analysis - and produce a report which combines the results for each exposure. This capability can be used within InaSAFE Desktop and is used by InaSAFE realtime.

InaSAFE Realtime is a web based application that produces reports in near-realtime after a flood in Jakarta or an earthquake in Indonesia. It also supports ad hoc uploading of volcanic ash fall models to produce reports detailing the potential impact of volcanic ash fall.

In this module we will look at the InaSAFE multi-exposure analysis tool and explore some of the options InaSAFE provides for multi-exposure based reporting.

You try:

Goal: To carry out an analysis of flood impact on population and buildings

Open the project provided with the lesson exercise data.
Use the multi-exposure tool (Plugins -> InaSAFE -> InaSAFE Multi Exposure Tool) with the options provided in the specification table below
Run the analysis and browse the result products
Review the contents of the Combined Analysis Summary attribute table
Ensure the Combined Analysis Summary attribute table is selected
Try to replicate the report shown below using the expressions provided in the analysis summary table below

Name	Expectation
Analysis	Hazard: Floods
Analysis	Aggregation: Wards
Analysis	Population: People
Analysis	Structures: Buildings
Reporting Options : Layers in the map report	Analysis Summary - Flood Polygon on Structure Polygon
Reporting Options : Layers in the map report	Multi-exposure Flood Polygon on Structure Polygon, Population Raster
Reporting Options : Layers in the map report	Analysis Summary - Flood Polygon on Exposure Raster
Reporting Options	Layers in the map report : wards
Reporting Options	Layers in the map report : tandale_floods
Report Template Structures Expression	`[% inasafe_analysis_summary_field_value( 'structure_total_affected' )%]`
Report Template Population Expression	`[% round(inasafe_analysis_summary_field_value( 'population_total_affected' ))%]`

More about multi-exposure in InaSAFE

In the expressions editor, there are a number of multi-exposure specific expressions in the InaSAFE - HTML Elements section. These can be used to provide the summaries for the different exposures used in the analysis.

You should note that only one of each exposure type is supported when doing a multi-exposure analysis. This means that you cannot, for example, use the tool to carry out an analysis of a flood on two different population exposure datasets.

The analysis outputs are arranged in nested QGIS layer groups if you do not specify custom reporting options in the multi-exposure dialog. If you do choose custom reporting options, the selected output layers will be provided in a single layer group for the multi-exposure analysis.

The templates developed in the multi-exposure tool can potentially be used in InaSAFE Realtime if carefully defined.

Check your knowledge:

InaSAFE supports multi-hazard analysis as well as multi-exposure analysis:

True

False

Indicate which are true::

The multi-exposure tool is also used by InaSAFE Realtime

You can use one or more of each exposure type

InaSAFE will show all the outputs for multi-exposure analysis in a single QGIS layer group with nested sub-groups for each exposure type
