None of the interviewees or survey respondents thought investing in vaccines would result in a misdirection of focus, for example, using cholera vaccines as a quick and easy fix in place of investing in tackling a more fundamental health hazard such as clean drinking water and sanitation.
Adopting an appropriate degree of precaution with respect to feared health and environmental hazards is fundamental to risk management.
Flood frequency analysis (FFA) is fundamental for providing hazard probability of flood risk assessment as well as for determining design flood.
The argument is the fundamental basis for moral hazard in foreign aid administration.
A quantitative evaluation of this interaction is fundamental for a correct hazard assessment in volcanic areas.
This review allows us to identify strong and weak points in an extended observatory system, and demonstrates that enhanced multi-national integration can have fundamental implications in scientific hazard assessment and response during an on-going effusive crisis.
To date, the RAND-Study, conducted in California during the 1970s, is regarded as a fundamental investigation on moral hazard in health insurance [ 25]. 5,809 US citizens were randomly assigned to 14 different health insurance contracts (with different co-payment modalities) and their consequent behaviour was documented for three to five years.
Landslide inventory maps are fundamental for assessing landslide susceptibility, hazard, and risk.
Although map makers strive for the highest degree of objectivity in designing probabilistic hazard maps, these fundamental choices for colour scheme, content type, and data classification are largely driven by subjective preference.
Improved understanding of how RDO programs in the developing world are engaging with and influencing risk mitigation in the multi-hazard environments is fundamental for reducing vulnerability.
