A uniform and comprehensive classification system, often referred to as taxonomy, is
fundamental for the characterization of building portfolios for natural hazard risk assessment …

This study focuses on scoring, selecting, and develo** physical fragility (ie, the probability
of reaching or exceeding a certain damage state given a specific hazard intensity) and/or …

Abstract Background and Purpose: Increasingly frequent meteorological disasters have
brought severe challenges that should be urgently handled in the sustainable development …

Earth observation (EO) techniques have significantly evolved over time, covering a wide
range of applications in different domains. The scope of this study is to review the research …

The spatial resolution of exposure data has a substantial impact on the accuracy and
reliability of seismic risk estimates. While several studies have investigated the influence of …

In response to the growing threat of urban flooding, this study developed an integrated
method to evaluate the flood risk of the study area (Fuzhou City, China) to different types of …

The integration of risk reduction measures for earthquakes and floods is a promising
concept in the field of multi-hazard disaster risk reduction. However, existing studies mostly …

We propose the use of variable resolution boundaries based on Central Voronoi
Tessellations (CVT) to spatially aggregate building exposure models for risk assessment to …

Over the past decade, the adverse impacts of climate change and excessive urbanization
have contributed to several unfamiliar and costly floods in the Gulf Cooperation Council …

Effective disaster risk management would require the analysis and the comparison of
relevant risks potentially affecting a territory, also considering possible interactions among …
