Concurrent, Consecutive and Cascading Events: An Emerging Challenge for Risk Assessment and Management of Natural and Natech Hazards
Session ID#: 82619
Session Description:
This session focuses on concurrent, consecutive and cascading hazard events and their impacts. Such events â caused by the interaction of several hazard drivers in space or time â have a multiplier effect on risks to society, infrastructure, and the environment. However, they have been largely overlooked in disaster risk science and policy. Recently, the topic of multi-risk has gained attention in international policy and decision-making fora, including the UNISDRâs Global Risk Assessment Framework, the World Bank GFDRRâs Understanding Risk community, and the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) on Extremes. Therefore, this session aims to showcase current research and foster broader knowledge exchange between scientists and practitioners across multiple hazard communities and disciplines. We encourage contributions related to all aspects of these events, especially those that: improve understanding of physical processes; showcase new methodologies, techniques and statistical approaches; and illustrate how including multiple interacting hazards improves risk assessment and management.
