Overview
Development of a technical report, in the form of a guideline to be used in validation and consultation process, to carry out qualitative, semi-quantitative, and quantitative risk assessments.
Key Responsibilities
- Development of a technical report, in the form of a guideline to be used in validation and consultation process, to carry out qualitative, semi-quantitative, and quantitative risk assessments.
- Review of international and national documentation on the technical approaches, methodologies and tools, with the purpose of estimating probable damages and losses in the face of the impact of a hazard.
- Consider methodological options for developing qualitative, semi-quantitative, and quantitative risk assessments.
- Complement with a comparative analysis of the architecture of risk modeling according to the classification of hazards.
- Support in the development of workshops to present and discuss the proposed guideline.
Required Experience
- At least four (4) years of experience in risk assessment or disaster prevention hazard, exposure, and vulnerability modelling for the determination of risk levels is required.
- Experience with hazards analyses and mapping, exposure characterization, vulnerability analysis and risk is required.
- Experience with at least one major government institution or international organization working on risk assessments, disaster risk reduction or risk knowledge is desirable.
- Experience in probabilistic risk assessment tools (e.g., CAPRA, CLIMADA, OpenQuake) is desired.
- Experience in research methodology, data analysis, and report writing is desired.
Qualifications
- An advanced university degree (master's or equivalent) in civil engineering, geographical engineering, environmental engineering, geography, disaster risk management, or a related discipline is required.
- A first-level university degree in combination with two additional years of qualifying experience may be accepted in lieu of the advanced university degree.
