Who's at Risk? Assessing Population and Infrastructure Exposure and Vulnerability for Hazard, Climate, and Health Applications
Session ID#: 78327
Session Description:
Analyzing the risks of natural and technological hazards, climate change, and public health threats requires data on the exposure of people and infrastructure in addition to quantifying their respective vulnerability across time to damage and adverse impacts. Spatiotemporal measures specific to occupancy activities, the type of occupants (e.g. vulnerable groups), and other factors affecting risk need to be coupled with more detailed information on the resilience of infrastructure to support effective mitigation and capacity planning specific to different hazards, e.g., earthquakes, floods, extreme weather, pollution, and sea level rise. New data from remote sensing, location-based services, crowd-sourcing, and transactional databases can supplement existing geospatial data on population and infrastructure. Proposals are welcome that address data interoperability, fusion, quality, discoverability, use, and/or validation aspects of underlying data products, key to supporting cross-disciplinary risk assessments and characterizing interactions between hazards, exposure, and vulnerability, now and in the future.
