Figure 1. Taxonomy of safety risks in PSS. 2.1.1. Natural Disaster Risks Natural disasters cover most types of catastrophic events, such as earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, epidemics, and wildfires, that are related to the education system [24,25]. Hence, the natural disaster risk of PSS ref...
Earthquakes occur when two blocks of earth slip past one other. Earth is composed of tectonic plates that are constantly moving. However, there are instances when their edges get stuck as they move while the other parts of the plate continue to move. The continuous interaction between the plate...
The main objective of this volume is to evaluate existing knowledge and evidence of active faulting and historical/prehistoric earthquakes in the wider Caucasus area, and to assess the impact on the evaluation of seismic hazard. The seismological interest in the Caucasus lies in the availability of...
Asperity Distribution of Alaskan-Aleutian Earthquakes: Implications for Seismic and Tsunami Hazards The slip distributions of five great Alaskan-Aleutian earthquakes of the 20th century are determined by inversion of tsunami waveforms recorded on tide gauges. These earthquakes are the 1938 Alaskan, 1946 ...

In addition to these environmental impacts during regular operation, there is also the risk of environmental accidents caused by natural stress events such as earthquakes, heavy rainfall, or by operational failure. Examples of accidents are dam fractures, leakages, accidents with reagents, slippage of...
