Описание: Assessment of risk and uncertainty is crucial for natural hazard risk management, facilitating risk communication and informing strategies to successfully mitigate our society's vulnerability to natural disasters. Written by some of the world's leading experts, this book provides a state-of-the-art overview of risk and uncertainty assessment in natural hazards. It presents the core statistical concepts using clearly defined terminology applicable across all types of natural hazards and addresses the full range of sources of uncertainty, the role of expert judgement and the practice of uncertainty elicitation. The core of the book provides detailed coverage of all the main hazard types and concluding chapters address the wider societal context of risk management. This is an invaluable compendium for academic researchers and professionals working in the fields of natural hazards science, risk assessment and management and environmental science, and will be of interest to anyone involved in natural hazards policy.

Автор: Aggeliki Barberopoulou Название: Tsunamis: Detection, Risk Assessment and Crisis Management ISBN: 1536134481 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781536134483 Издательство: Nova Science Рейтинг: Цена: 215410.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: A collection of articles that showcases the diversity of tsunami science. This is truly an interdisciplinary field that brings together seismologists, engineers, social scientists, emergency managers, geologists, and geophysicists, to name a few. The title reflects this diversity of tsunami research, ranging from understanding the source mechanism, working towards the fast detection of tsunamis in order to take prompt action, and predicting impacts so those affected are better prepared to respond, reduce losses and recover in a reasonable amount of time. The chapters are arranged such that they follow in some virtual way the tsunami from the source to propagation, inundation and impacts on the social, natural or built environment. The book therefore naturally begins with a chapter on the Nankai Trough, a source of great earthquakes and potentially destructive tsunamis. Chapter Two presents a methodology on detecting and identifying tsunamigenic events, followed by Chapter Three, which uses a popular seismological technique to understand tsunami propagation and potential impact on shores. Chapter Four presents an application of tsunami modeling on evacuation planning. Chapters Five and Six look into the impact of tsunamis on structures such as bridges, utilizing valuable data collected after the 2011 Tohoku tsunami in Japan. Chapter Seven is a risk assessment study that predicts the financial cost of a 1960 Chile type of earthquake if it were to happen today. Chapters Eight and Nine look into the social aspect of disasters by interviewing survivors and presenting how geospatial techniques can be used to reveal potential risks in our environment that could potentially hinder the recovery of communities after a disaster. All of the chapters have been written by specialists in their respective fields, representing a vast range of sciences and research that covers nearly the entire globe, stretching from the US to Japan, Taiwan and New Zealand.

Название: Incentives for Reducing Disaster Risk in Urban Areas ISBN: 9292574779 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789292574772 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 17550.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: The rapid growth of urban areas in Asia has often resulted in poorly designed infrastructure in hazard-prone areas. This has increased the risk of disasters resulting from natural hazards. The intensity and frequency of climate-related hazards are increasing, further exacerbating the risk. Better understanding of disaster risk by urban stakeholders and the use of this information by governments to develop policies, regulations, and fi nancing is needed. This publication summarizes the experiences of three areas that have provided incentives for disaster risk reduction. Case studies are presented from Da Nang in Viet Nam, Kathmandu Valley in Nepal, and Naga City in the Philippines.
