IBF-system

NOTE: For now some background on IBF-terminology (e.g. triggers) is expected. This can be expanded on later.

This is the repository for the IBF-system. It includes 3 main components.

1. Trigger model development

• This contains the exploratory analysis for developing a trigger-model for a given country and disaster-type.
• It might include (in the future) a lot of shared code between countries and disaster types, and even (automated) tools to aid analysts to develop trigger models.
• The output is a trigger script which determines (per country/disaster type) when and where a trigger is reached.

2. Services (backend)

• The trigger script is subsequently automated through (e.g. a daily running) service.
• Results (as well as other related data) are stored in a database
• Database content is returned through API-calls to some interface

3. Interfaces (frontend)

• Visualization of model results through dashboards
• Dashboards might move from read-only to write-applications, where users can also add (secondary) data through an interface
