Vulnerability index and capacity spectrum based methods for urban seismic risk evaluation. A comparison [PDF]

Natural Hazards, 2008
This article contributes to the development and application of two latestgeneration methods of seismic risk analysis in urban areas. The first method, namely vulnerability index method (VIM), considers five non-null damage states, defines the action in terms of macroseismic intensity and the seismic quality of the building by means of a vulnerability ...

From Hurricane Irma to the Grindavík eruptions: volatility premiums in disaster governance. [PDF]

Disasters
Abstract Environmental volatility can inflate property values even as it destroys them. To show how, this article pairs a postcolonial micro‐state in the Caribbean (Sint Maarten after Hurricane Irma) with a Nordic welfare town (Grindavík in Iceland following volcanic eruptions) because they occupy the opposite ends of the governance capacity spectrum ...
