Open-Source Critical Asset Management for Climate Resilience
summary
Open-source knowledge-graph system CAMS is a working MVP built quickly by volunteers using TerminusDB, deployed from GitHub and runnable in Docker, that inventories assets, records maintenance and spatial IDs, and calculates transitive failure path chains so cascading outages become visible. It is live for Dominica (Hurricane Maria caused 90% structural loss and $1.3B damage, 224% of GDP) and already shows concrete benefits like selecting a category‑3 hurricane and revealing which assets (airport, hospitals, grid) fail.
