Аннотация:Critical infrastructures and other technological systems such as transportation systems, telecommunication networks, power lines, pipelines, and reservoirs are at risk of natural hazards (e.g., earthquakes, floods, landslides) in many urban and rural areas worldwide. A key to the safe and affordable operations of these types of infrastructure is an in-depth knowledge of their exposure and vulnerability to natural hazards and the impact of damage experienced either locally or across the network. A fundamental understanding of hazard and risk involves (a) systematic identification, monitoring, and mapping of potential infrastructure exposure, (b) integrated assessment of impact as a result of damage, repair, and/or mitigation, (c) indirect losses from infrastructure disruption and synergistic effects, and (d) consideration of interactions between hazards and/or cascades of hazards.
