What is it?
This is the service to update a given exposure file (as it is the output of the assetmaster script) and update the building and damage classes with given fragility functions and intensity values.

Project
Deus was developed in the scope of the RIESGOS project: Multi-Risk Analysis and Information System Components for the Andes Region (https://www.riesgos.de/en)
Documentation
You can look up several documentation pages:
- Setup and installation
- Example run
- Shakemaps and Intensity files
- Exposure models
- Fragility functions
- Loss
- Schema mappings
Scope of deus
Deus was created in the riesgos project for working in multi risk scenarios. It should be provided as a web processing service by the GFZ.

Can I use deus for xyz?
Yes! But you may have to code a bit yourself. The code is written against interfaces and already provides several implementations for some of them.
Aims for the following development of deus is the support of more and more hazards with their intensity files, their fragility functions and their schemas.
You can also take a look into the TODOs.
Will there only be one deus?
There is deus and there is volcanus (a special deus version "volcanus" that works with shapefiles for intensities - it uses a column LOAD and a unit of kPa - to allow a special ashfall service in the RIESGOS demonstrator).
The two services only differ in the intensity provider.
