Fire and Rescue Service Preparedness for Natural Hazards

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Natural hazards driven by extreme weather events are expected to continue to pose a significant risk to citizens, property and the environment. Based on a series of national and international interviews with the Fire and Rescue Service (FRS), this paper presents an analysis of present practices within the FRS and FRS willingness to employ a ...

Creation of a Landslide Susceptibility Map Using Short‐Term Data From the July 2018 Heavy Rainfall in Southern Hiroshima Prefecture

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
This work advances landslide susceptibility mapping by incorporating short‐term trigger data with landscape susceptibility mapping. We also examine the importance of downsampling, watershed delineation and geospatial correlations in evaluating outcomes.

An approach for real-time monitoring of hydrological risk hotspots during extreme rainfall events

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
Real-time monitoring of hydrological risk hotspots during extreme rainfall events is limited by certain challenges. Here, we introduce a new approach for tracking such hotspots across large areas in real time.

Impacts of anthropogenic and environmental factors on the occurrence of shallow landslides in an alpine catchment (Urseren Valley, Switzerland) [PDF]

, 2008
Changes in climate and land use pose a risk to stability of alpine soils, but the direction and magnitude of the impact is still discussed controversially with respect to the various alpine regions.

Green swans and blue skies: Climate change and insolvency risk for financial institutions

International Insolvency Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This lecture in honour of the late Gabriel Moss QC and Ian Fletcher QC examines the challenge of climate‐related financial risk. Prudential regulators and central banks recognize that the systemic nature of climate‐related financial risk makes it an emerging vulnerability relevant to cross‐border insolvency resolution.

The Impacts of Southwest Indian Ocean Tropical Cyclones on Transient Weather in Réunion

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Tropical cyclones which make passage near Réunion can have significant impacts on transient weather relative to long‐term means on the island. In this paper, these impacts were determined by a topological analysis of non‐landfalling tropical cyclones. The relationship between storm intensity, distance, duration, and seasonality plays an equal role in ...

Spatiotemporal Changes and Climate Driving Factors of Compound Precipitation‐Temperature Extreme Events Across Global Land Areas

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
During the period 1901–2024, the dominant proportion of compound dry‐warm extremes in annual, June–July–August (JJA), and December–January–February (DJF) occurrences was the highest among the four types of compound precipitation and temperature extremes across global land areas, accounting for 40.1%, 50.3%, and 28.0%, respectively.

Landslide Investigation with Remote Sensing and Sensor Network: From Susceptibility Mapping and Scaled-down Simulation towards in situ Sensor Network Design

Remote Sensing, 2013
This paper presents an integrated approach to landslide research based on remote sensing and sensor networks. This approach is composed of three important parts: (i) landslide susceptibility mapping using remote-sensing techniques for susceptible ...
