Objectives
The objective of the this Ccompetence Centre (CC) in EGI-Engage is to make available customised IT services to support the climate and disaster mitigation researchers to gain a deeper understanding of the most serious natural disasters that affect Asia (e.g. earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons) and to mitigate multi-hazards via data-intensive, e-Science techniques and collaborations. The task strongly builds on experts from the Asia-Pacific region who will create virtual research environments with embedded services and simulations that enable the sharing of disaster-related data, tools, applications and knowledge among field-workers, scientists, and e-Infrastructure experts, shortening the time they can respond to natural disasters. The CC will have two associated partners, the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ, Germany) and University of St. Andrews (UStA, UK) to connect the activities with related projects and initiatives in Europe.

Services to conduct disaster mitigation simulations
- Tsunami Wave Propagation Simulation Portal -- iCOMCOT: http://icomcot.twgrid.org
- gWRF -- Weather Simulation Portal: https://gwrf.twgrid.org/
- Advanced Visualization Facility
Case Study
Selected cases together with their status are listed as the table below. By combining atmospheric and oceanic models together, the strategy is to reconstruct the whole process of these historical events with higher resolution local data to deeper understand the scientific mechanism behind the earth physical phenomena, and aim for the early warning for future hazardous events.
Advanced visualization will be integrated with the target cases by LRZ and the partners. Current focus are the Scouring event and Typhoon Haiyen.
