Assessing the physical vulnerability of crops and livestock is a task that is rarely considered to be the responsibility of emergency managers. One reason for giving minimal emphasis to the agricultural sector is that it accounts for a relatively small part of the total vulnerability in many ...
The estimation of the seismic vulnerability of regional structures has contributed positively to the development of seismic risk and resilience in large-scale building clusters. However, the empirical structural seismic damage and ground motion data used to validate the risk model are relatively outdated...
Urban vulnerability and riskCultural heritageA large volume of work has been carried out in recent years to assess the effects of individual hazards on urban areas. However, due to its complexity, assessing the probable cumulative impacts of multiple hazards has not yet entered the mainstream of ...
The analysis of hazard cluster maps shows that certain areas of Europe can be associated with particular hazard agglomerations.Risk is defined as a function of the hazard potential and the vulnerability. The integrated European vulnerability... SchmidtThomé, Philipp 被引量: 86发表: 2006年 State ...
Transport infrastructure is exposed to natural hazards all around the world. Here we present the first global estimates of multi-hazard exposure and risk to road and rail infrastructure. Results reveal that ~27% of all global road and railway assets are
Karst groundwater protection: First application of a Pan-European Approach to vulnerability, hazard and risk mapping in the Sierra de Líbar (Southern Spain) The European COST action 620 proposed a comprehensive approach to karst groundwater protection, comprising methods of intrinsic and specific ...
Based on the resultant MODIS-derived flood inundation mapping, a method to identify the people at risk vulnerable to flooding is proposed, and the distribution of population affected by flooding is derived. Finally the flood hazard vulnerability is analyzed by a spatial analysis method, which is ...
Standard EC.4.10 requires organizations to conduct a hazard vulnerability analysis (HVA) to help identify and prepare for potential emergencies. This article offers tips and examples from several organizations for developing the HVA—especially in regard to escalating emergencies and drilling emergency ...
Health care system hazard vulnerability analysis: an assessment of all public hospitals in Abu Dhabi Hazard vulnerability analysis (HVA) is used to risk-stratify potential threats, measure the probability of those threats, and guide disaster preparedness. ... S Fares,M Femino,A Sayah,... - 《...
Professionals working at the scale of localities are interested in methods that bring out residents’ own knowledge of hazards and help them to cooperate with each other to find ways of reducing risk. There are some interpretations of vulnerability that seek its root cause in the creati...
