"hazard characteristics" is correct and can be used in written English.
You could use it when discussing the characteristics or qualities of a certain hazard. For example: "This document discusses the various hazard characteristics of wildfires."
By integrating the results of our geological, damage and medical studies, we could reconstruct the spatial and temporal dynamics of the PDCs and their main hazard characteristics.
The Sendai Framework highlights that disaster risk is multifaceted, comprising "vulnerability, capacity, exposure of persons and assets, hazard characteristics and the environment" (UNISDR 2015b, Paragraph 23) and that knowledge of risk should inform all elements of the disaster management cycle.
First, disaster risk management needs to be based on an understanding of disaster risk in all its dimensions of vulnerability, capacity, exposure of persons and assets, hazard characteristics, and the environment.
The research participants recognised the need for New Zealand's VAL system to accommodate a wide range of volcano types and potential eruption magnitudes, unrest intensity, dormancy periods, eruption and hazard characteristics, and risk environments.
Hazard characteristics, although prominent in vulnerability research in the disaster risk field (where dose response analysis is a well-known method) (Li et al. 2008; Ding and Miao 2014), are largely overlooked.
The S-FRESI composition (according to the resilience definition adopted) combines: the hazard characteristics and the system exposure and susceptibility, to represent flood resistance mapped over time; the ability for material recovery from losses caused by inundation, considering the income variable; and the functional capacity of the drainage system, represented by the flood duration.
It may or may not be sensitive to death and injury cost assumption dependent on location and hazard risk characteristics.
Spontaneity is the third hazard characteristic.
The fourth hazard characteristic is limitation to space, which describes the extent to which hazards and their impacts are concentrated in space.
For RiskScape and other risk assessment purposes, the most useful HEMU measures a hazard characteristic that is most strongly correlated to (or causes) damage and preferably is measureable after the event and/or a forward physical model output (e.g., Wilson et al., 2014).
Each step in this process requires: an understanding of fire hazards and risk; characteristics of fire; how the fire starts, develops, spreads, and affects people, buildings, and processes; the fire models used; and principles of fire prevention, detection, and control.
