Assessing Cascading Effects From Multiple Hazards An Example From The project devises methods and tools to assess the cascading effects that multiple events may have upon critical infrastructures and social groups. Small and local scale assessments are necessary for nuanced understanding of possible impacts of multiple hazards on society. this view is needed for supporting local adaptation strategy and planning.
Assessing Cascading Effects From Multiple Hazards An Example From Jstor is a digital library of academic journals, books, and primary sources. This brief provides an overview of methods and tools to assess the cascading effects that multiple events may have on critical infrastructure and social groups and a summary of their application in a swedish case study. The main goal of this study was the development of a methodology to perform a multi hazard and multi risk assessment (also considering cascading effects) to support civil protection planning in wide areas in lombardia region. The project devises methods and tools to assess the cascading effects that multiple events may have upon critical infrastructures and social groups. this brief provides an overview of these methods and tools and a summary of their application in a swedish case study.

Despite increased research on ‘multiple hazards’ and ‘cascading effects’, ambiguity remains concerning terminology. this paper reviews the literature to explore how these two concepts are defined in relation to critical infrastructures and their vital societal functions. We illustrate its application by simulating the impacts from the 2015 mw 7.8 gorkha earthquake in nepal, as an exemplar of a large scale event that had cascading effects on people and infrastructure due to both primary and secondary hazards. The project devises methods and tools to assess the cascading effects that multiple events may have upon critical infrastructures and social groups. this brief provides an overview of these methods and tools and a summary of their application in a swedish case study. The unisdr (united nations office for disaster risk reduction, 2016) defines multi hazards as “events [that] may occur simultaneously, cascadingly, or cumulatively over time, considering the potential interrelated effects.”.
