Adding new projects to InaSAFE¶
Users can add new QGIS projects to the list of projects for use in InaSAFE
Use the pacsafe-advanced.bat version to create your project, as this will allow you to update elements such as the project title and ensure the project uses relative paths.
Follow these guidelines to add your own projects:
- Projects should be named with underscores
_
instead of spaces. Set the name to something meanigful, so other people might understand what the project comprises - All data should be stored under subdirectories where the project is
saved. Currently, there are a limited number of subfolders, to make
maintaining the data easier. New exposure data should be stored
under the
exposure
folder,raster
holds the raster hazard layers,imagery
stores the satellite imagery used for context in the projects. - Make sure the project stores the path to the data layers as relative paths. Go to and ensure it is set to “relative”.
- Set the title of the project to something meaningful, so other people might understand what the project comprises:
- Copy the project file, and any additional data, to the
data/to
folder (for Tonga projects).
When you next start InaSAFE, your project should appear in the Project Selection window.
