The work introduces the concept of large, medium and small scale hazards, and includes many useful case studies as well as working examples of theoretical concepts..As readers will acknowledge, today the distinction between natural and technological hazards is becoming blurred and a new concept of NATECH hazards is evolving. For permanent hazards (such as tides, wind waves, coastal erosion and climate change) routine predictions are made, whereas for evanescent hazards (including droughts, sea level rise, and coastal subsidence), monitoring of various parameters is the norm. Only for episodic hazards (for example hurricanes, winter storms, tsunamis, and river floods), early warning systems are used, with varying degrees of success..The book explores how, for certain episodic hazards liketornadoes, landslides, forest fires, snow avalanches, and volcanic eruptions, the early warning systems are still in various stages of development. Readers will gain knowledge of theoretical and practical concepts of risk evaluation which assist in better | | 出版日期 | Textbook 2018 | | 关键词 | Disaster Mitigation and Canada; Disaster risk and resilience; Vulnerability assessment; Warning systems | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-024-1283-3 | | isbn_softcover | 978-94-024-1641-1 | | isbn_ebook | 978-94-024-1283-3Series ISSN 1878-9897 Series E-ISSN 2213-6959 | | issn_series | 1878-9897 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V., part of Springer Nature 2018 |
