From a risk perspective, the intersting aspect of a natural hazard is its location and intensity. For such,
38

CLIMADA allows you to load your own hazard data or to directly define it using the platform. As an example,
39

Users can easily load historical tropical cyclone tracks (IBTracks) and apply stochastic methods to generate
40

a larger ensemble of tracks from the historical ones, from which they can easily compute the maximal windspeed.

Exposure is defined as the entity that could potentially be damaged by a hazard: it can be people, infrastructures,
46

assests, ecosystems or others. The CLIMADA user is given the option to load its own exposure data into the platform,
47

or to use CLIMADA to define it. One common way of defining assets' exposure is through LitPop (link). LitPop dissagrate a

54

How can you compute the impact of a hazard on an exposure if their locations differs ? Well, you can't.
55
-
This is what cetroids are for. Centroids are a grid of points defined by the users, in which both the exposure value
56
-
and hazard intensity are calculated, allowing you to obtain the asset value and the hazard intensity im those
57
-
defined points.

This module allows you to define a range of input parameters and evaluate their influence on the output,
73
85
helping you quantify the sensitivity of the modeling chain as well as the uncertainties in your results.
