Announcing OpenNHM: Open Natural Hazard Modeling

Posted by Felix on Thursday, September 18, 2025

We are excited to announce the launch of OpenNHM (Open Natural Hazard Modeling), a initiative that extends beyond avalanche simulation to encompass a comprehensive suite of natural hazard modeling tools.

OpenNHM intends to provide a platform for natural hazard modeling tools, enabling researchers, practitioners, and institutions to collaborate on the development of new approaches and tools.

OpenNHM Structure

Looking Forward

The OpenNHM initiative represents a significant step toward more comprehensive and accessible natural hazard modeling.

We invite researchers, practitioners, and institutions worldwide to join this collaborative effort.

In the coming weeks we will start to transition things like the website, documentation, and code repositories to the OpenNHM organization. This also includes the AvaFrame-QGis plugin, which will be moved to the OpenNHM organization as well.

Stay tuned for more updates!
