  An automated, real-time, multiple sensor data source relying and globally
applicable earthquake loss model and visualiser is desirable for post-event
earthquake analysis. To achieve this there is a need to support rapid data
ingestion, loss estimation and integration of data from multiple data sources
and rapid visualisation at multiple geographic levels. In this paper, the
design and development of the Automated Post-Event Earthquake Loss Estimation
and Visualisation (APE-ELEV) system for real-time estimation and visualisation
of insured losses incurred due to earthquakes is presented. A model for
estimating ground up and net of facultative losses due to earthquakes in near
real-time is implemented. Since post-event data is often available immediately
from multiple disparate sources, a geo-browser is employed to facilitate the
visualisation and integration of earthquake hazard, exposure and loss data. The
feasibility of APE-ELEV is demonstrated using a test case earthquake that
occurred in Tohoku, Japan (2011). The APE-ELEV model is further validated for
ten global earthquakes using industry loss data.
