Abstract

Natural hazards (e.g. floods, fires) have the potential to occur at the same time or trigger other natural hazards. These multi-hazards potentially have a greater impact than the individual impacts from the individual hazards involved. Towns and cities are comprised of different infrastructure types (e.g., roads, power, water) of varying quality in different areas which may be impacted by hazards to differing degrees. This briefing outlines how a low-data cost GIS methodology 바카라 사이트“ urban texture 바카라 사이트“ can support the assessment of the differing impacts on different types of infrastructure.
