Investigation Into The Relationship Between Hurricane Storm Parameters and Damage
“Economic damage, such as damage to property and infra-structure, from hurricane surges depends on two factors 1) the depth of coastal inundation and 2) the area covered by the surge” (Irish et. al 2007). Typically, damage estimates are developed after hurricanes have dissipated. To have the …

Pluvial Flood Risk Estimation Procedure for Small Urban Watersheds
… to model urban pluvial flood scenarios, estimate damages, and quantify pluvial flood risk for microwatersheds (watersheds of a few square miles or less). The model development was accomplished using EPA's SWMM in combination with GIS datasets and analyses. Sensitivity analyses were performed on …

Risk Assessment and Optimal Response Strategies for Resilience of Electric Power Infrastructure to Extreme Weather
… approach to estimating the weather-induced damage, and accounts for power flow constraints in designing response actions within electricity distribution networks. Firstly, we formulate an asymmetric hurricane wind field model that is applicable to forecasting and large-scale ensemble …

Santa Barbara Tea Fire Multi-Hazard Mitigation Benefit Cost Analysis
… to cause fatalities, injuries, property damage, infrastructure damage, economic interruptions, environmental damage, or other loss. The study area for the Tea Fire BCA (Benefit Cost Analysis) is subject to multiple hazards, primarily landslides, wildfires, and earthquakes. In an attempt …

Analysis of residential building performance in tornadoes as a function of building and hazard characteristics
Tornadoes damage and destroy many thousands of buildings per year in the United States leading to significant economic losses and long-lasting disruption to communities. In an effort to better understand the relationship between tornado wind speeds and resulting damage, multiple data sources from …

A salad bowl, salt and not a drop to drink: recipe for disaster? Three essays on the economic value of agricultural land in a changing environment
… would otherwise severely bias our land value estimates. We base our damage estimates on CSIRO climate projections for the 21st century, as used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. We find that projected climate change would erode agricultural land values by around 10 per cent by …

Coastal floods in view of sea level rise
… flood events are rare they can entail enormous damage costs, especially when built-up areas are inundated. Fortunately, the mean sea level advances slowly and there is enough time for society to adapt to the changing environment. Most commonly, this is achieved by the construction or …

Assessing natural risks for railway infrastructure and transportation in Austria
… single societal or economic sectors – e.g. flood damage models largely concentrate on private-sector housing – and other important sectors, such as the transport infrastructure sector, are widely neglected. However, transport infrastructure considerably contributes to economic and societal …
