multi-hazard risk assessment
Multi-hazard risk assessment is a process that evaluates the likelihood and potential impact of multiple natural and human-made hazards—such as earthquakes, floods, storms, or industrial accidents—on a community or infrastructure. It considers how these hazards might occur separately or together, and how vulnerabilities (like buildings, populations, or systems) could be affected. The goal is to identify areas at higher risk and develop strategies to reduce potential damage, improve safety, and enhance resilience by understanding the complex interactions between different hazards and the environment.
