RAFT - Comparative Risk Assessment Framework and Tools - is designed to lead natural resource managers through an integrated assessment of the risks, uncertainties, and trade-offs that surround forest and rangeland management. CRAFT helps to identify and clarify objectives, design alternatives, assess probable effects, and compare and communicate risks.
Features:
Provides a structured approach to identifying and clarifying competing objectives.
Matches real-life problems to existing models and tools.
Uses belief networks (a probability-based modeling approach) to integrate data, model outputs, and personal beliefs.
Calculates the relative risks and tradeoffs associated with alternative management scenarios.
