Disaster Prevention and Management: An International Journal, 1996
Presents a method of analysis to obtain risk profiles for major adverse events. The method is based on a previously published method for probabilistically modelling historical data of past major accidents and disasters. Shows that insurable costs arising from such major events can be modelled using the two‐parameter Weibull distribution.

Computational Intelligence for Risk and Disaster Management
2006 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, 2006In this paper we provide a computational intelligence methodology for risk and disaster management using attitudinal and fuzzy modeling. We provide a paradigm representing the relationship among threats, events, control alternatives and losses. In evaluating a control alternative we look beyond the traditional expected value as a summary measure of ...

Natural disasters – floods, drought, hurricanes, landslides, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcano eruptions – increasingly cause casualties and damages to infrastructure and property. In addition to huge suffering, the economies of many countries, especially the developing ones, where 95% of all fatal casualties from natural disaster occur, get severely ...

Disaster risk management is a comprehensive approach involving the identification of threats due to hazards; processing and analyzing threats; understanding people’s vulnerability; assessing communities’ resilience and coping capacity; developing strategies for future risk reduction; and building up capacities and operational skills to implement the ...

Risk Management in a Disaster Management Context
Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management, 1997This paper discusses how the adoption of a systematic risk management framework can enhance disaster management. In the analysis of risk, a focus on the interactions between sources of risk and elements at risk, rather than a pre‐occupation with hazards, adds more value to management.

Risk management: sociotechnological risks and disasters
2016This chapter is about managing sociotechnological risks. It was in the 1970s that the notion of ‘high-risk’ (or ‘safety critical’) systems started to be distinguished and grouped into an independent category including industries such as the nuclear, aviation, marine, petrochemical or the railways.

Natural Disaster Risk Management
2010By definition, natural disasters are surprises, and cause inconvenience and damage. Some things we do to ourselves, such as revolutions, terrorist attacks, and wars. Some things nature does to us, to include hurricanes, tornados, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis. Some disasters are caused by combinations of human and natural causes.

Indicators of Disaster Risk and Risk Management
2005This document is the summary report of the IDB-sponsored system of disaster risk and risk management indicators presented at the World Conference on Disaster Reduction in Kobe, Japan, 2005. The indices estimate disaster risk loss, distribution, vulnerability and management for 12 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.
