New Zealand is susceptible to a wide range of natural hazard events.
Thirty participants drove a simulated vehicle through scenarios containing five different unexpected hazard events.
On the firm level, we model production disruptions of various hazard events in reduced form.
Social and economic costs in coastal zones resulting from natural hazard events, such as hurricanes, are increasing.
County-level hazard loss data set for the U.S. for 18 different natural hazard events types such thunderstorms, hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and tornadoes.
We show that diversification effects can lead to counterintuitive results when we consider the network structure and the correlations of hazard events.
The overarching aim of this framework is to relate engineering design and retrofit practices to socioeconomic expectations of a community as a whole, and to provide a vehicle for risk-informed resilience-based decision-making under natural hazard events.
The upward trend in disaster frequency reflects some combination of the following: the increased reporting of disasters, greater concentrations of people and wealth in high-risk areas, increasing vulnerability, and long-term changes in the frequency or severity of climatic hazard events.
This natural hazard presents a complex mesh of dynamic factors for those seeking to reduce or manage its costs, as ignitions, hazard behaviour, and the reactions of different human and ecological communities during and after hazard events are all extremely uncertain.
United States commercial NPPs are vulnerable to natural hazard events.
The authors also investigated residents' risk perception to Natech hazard events.
