GADEP Toolbox
This page goes over the GADEP toolbox, its tools, and how they work.
The GADEP toolbox contains two script tools:
- Disaster Impact
- Disaster Route Analysis

The Disaster Impact tool is a script (or geoprocessing) tool capable of calculating the disaster impact on one or multiple infrastructures given an earthquake magnitude.

This tool takes in two different parameters:
- Feature Layer
- Earthquake Magnitude
The Feature Layer parameter will take in one or multiple different feature classes present only in the Infrastructures geodatabase. Feature classes in this geodatabase are compatible with the Fragility Database, meaning they will already contain the fields and values necessary to be used in this tool. Learn more about what makes a feature class compatible with the Fragility Database and this tool in the Preparation For Disaster Impact tool page.
This parameter will contain two different dropdown arrows to select the infrastructures you want to use in this tool.

To select one or multiple infrastructures:
- Click on one of the dropdowns (preferably the top one, it allows multi-select)
- Make your selection(s) (or select the Toggle All Checkboxes option to select all)
- Click Add
