The Alliance for Global Open Risk Assessment (AGORA) is conceived as a nonprofit, international virtual organization created to promote and coordinate development of open-source risk software and methodologies to perform end-to-end risk modeling. (End-to-end refers to modeling the occurrence of hazardous events, site effects, physical damage to the built environment, and economic and human impacts.)
The AGORA Framework
- Risk analysis is the foundation of risk reduction.
- We all share natural and technological hazards risk.
- Risk analysis is most broadly accepted and used when
- Risk methodologies are open
- Risk software is open source, and
- Fundamental risk data (such as hazard and vulnerability) are open
Therefore, Agora supports
- Open risk analysis
- Open risk methodologies
- Open risk tools, including open-source software
- Open risk data (such as hazard and vulnerability)
- Shared and collaborative development of methods, tools and data, and
- Open communication of risk results
While respecting individual initiative and the individual’s right to the fruits of that initiative.
