Hello all,
I am analyzing Soft Story buildings for my city in Northern California using parcel data and earthquake data and I want to create a risk index based on various parameters, like number of stories in the parcel layer and whether or not the parcels are in liquefaction/shaking zones.
So if it has a desired number of stories I would give it a 1. If it's in a liquefaction zone I would give it a 1. If it's in both it would receive a 2. And so on with my other parameters.
I don't think Risk Index is the right phrase as it leads me to nothing of use on Google, so if someone could at least give a name to what it is I'm trying to do that would also be very helpful.
