Adapting Seveso Sites to Extreme Weather: Lessons Learned and Risk Mitigation for NaTech Events in Case of Flooding

Risk Assessment of Flood-Prone Roads Using Digital Models

Climate change and extreme weather events constitute a major threat to the integrity and the operability of every transportation system. Storm surges, wildfires, floods and hurricanes may produce unforeseeable damage to passengers, vehicles, goods and roads Among these climate hazards, floods are the most damaging and...

PREDICTING HYDROLOGICAL HAZARDS TO PREVENT EMERGENCY SITUATIONS AND THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES

Background. The urgency of this study is conditioned by the unresolved large-scale problems of exploration, engineering, and adoption of the effective monitoring and forecasting systems, as well as timely warning of hazardous hydrological events, such as floods, waterlogging, and land subsidence. The purpose of this re...

Consecutive disaster risk management of forest wildfires followed by flooding

Can Nature-Based Solutions Reduce Pluvial Flood Risk? A Case Study on an Institutional Complex.

Flood control systems are experiencing increasing pressure and growing threats from the impacts of climate change and urbanization. Nature-based solutions (NbS) provide flood-risk mitigation and ancillary benefits, but their quantitative effectiveness remains inadequately evaluated. This paper aims to provide quantifie...

The Impact of Climate Change and Extreme Weather Conditions on the Environmental Risks of Urban Electric Transport

Extreme weather can disrupt urban electric transport and create environmental burdens beyond the initial infrastructure failure. This study traces the sequence from climate hazard to operational disruption, additional electricity use, and associated CO 2 emissions. The assessment combines a cascade model, a risk re...

Methodology for the assessment of environmental effects of failures at the objects of critical infrastructure

Critical infrastructure includes objects of oil, gas and energy economy, but their environmental impacts are considered superficially, giving their high importance and life-sustaining functions in cities. By contrast, the resilience and risks imposed by natural disasters, cyber-attacks and other potential threats for t...
