Elsevier - Health Sciences Division - Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard And Risk Analysis Towards Disaster Risk Reduction And Resilience - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard and Risk Analysis: Towards Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience covers recent calls for advances in quantitative tsunami hazard and risk analyses for the synthesis of broad knowledge basis and solid understanding of interdisciplinary fields spanning seismology tsunami science and coastal engineering. These new approaches are essential for enhanced disaster resilience of society under multiple hazards and changing climate as tsunamis can cause catastrophic loss to coastal cities and communities globally. This is a low - probability high - consequence event and it is not easy to develop effective disaster risk reduction measures. In particular uncertainties associated with tsunami hazards and risks are large. The knowledge and skills for quantitative probabilistic tsunami hazard and risk assessments are in high demand and are required in various related fields including disaster risk management (governments and local communities) and the insurance and reinsurance industry (catastrophe model).
