Description
In Phase I, Riverside investigated the need for increased access to NCDC storm data using web Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to connect severe weather and socioeconomic information. The focus of Phase I was to design and validate an architecture that specifies the methods through which the NCDC Storm data can be programmatically accessed, processed, and displayed in easy to use interfaces. Phase I market research verified the need for tools and software algorithms for accessing the NCDC data combined with socioeconomic data for the purpose of risk identification and assessment. We have designed a software product to move customers through the process of scoping and identifying climate-and weather-based risks to assets of interest. Through discussions with potential customers we have identified prospective markets for our proposed products. For Phase II, we have identified seven main objectives to create a commercially viable product. These objectives are: Refine Product Requirements, Develop User Interface, Develop API, Acquire Data, Incorporate Additional Datasets, Develop Workflow Framework, and Create Risk Assessment and Calculation Tools.
