In the face of an uncertain hazard, it is helpful to pose a question appropriate given the tool.
This suggests that verbal expression in the key can play a role in interpretation of hazard map data, as trust is a critical factor in stakeholder engagement with uncertain hazard map data (Frewer and Salter 2007; Wachinger et al. 2013).
The non-discrete "fuzzy" appearance of gradational shading is considered an appropriate strategy to depict uncertain hazard and risk information (MacEachren 1992; Slocum 1999), and our results suggest that adding isopleths to this style effectively improves reader ability to interpolate shading for those who seek to reduce uncertainty.
As analysts and policy makers turn their attention to deeply uncertain hazards such as climate change, a number of alternatives to traditional PRA have been proposed.
However, it would have required precaution (or foresight, based on sufficient evidence) to have justified acts to avoid exposure to the then uncertain hazards of asbestos in the 1930s 1950s, or to those of tobacco smoke in the 1960s.
Here was Belgium back to looking uncertain again, with Hazard disappearing from the game, Lukaku left isolated and De Bruyne reduced to taking hopeful and ultimately wasteful pot shots from distance in the manner of England against Iceland.
When the place where one can truly be oneself and lean on as the reason for living is so fraught with industrialized, greedy, pummeling and uncertain, nut-balled hazard, what should be the most awesome bi-life ever is, at a confusing rate, reduced to just sort of awesome.
I conclude by proposing a rational decision-making procedure that ensures full appreciation of the uncertain nature of volcanic hazard estimates and maximizes the collaborative contributes of several experts and political decision-makers, while keeping clear separation of roles according to each participant's respective expertise and societal mandate.
It's not easy for a democracy to regulate technical products like endocrine disruptors that may offer great benefits as well as complex risks, especially when the hazards remain uncertain.
However, building performance under low earthquake hazards is uncertain.
We explored the sensitivity of the tsunami hazards to uncertain fault geometry by varying strike and dip, and to uncertain earthquake slip by considering stochastic slip distributions and inversion-based slip models.
