نویسندگان
چکیده
A comprehensive risk assessment of different types natural disasters at the county level can promote quantitative disaster and provide a scientific basis for formulation prevention measures. Focusing on climate-related hazards based theories methods, this study integrates statistics, meteorological data, geographic information, other multivariate data to quantify various vulnerability exposure hazard-bearing bodies conducts an integrated risks multiple in Cangnan County, Zhejiang Province. Typhoon is high central northern parts low its surroundings, with high-risk areas mainly distributed Lingxi Town north. The distribution patterns drought flood County are similar: south With method standard deviation, shows pattern being north, northeast northwest south.

Continued development in coastal communities results in an increase in the number of people and assets exposed to the type of catastrophic hazards recently displayed by Hurricane Katrina. Traditionally, the vulnerability of coastal communities has been measured either on a micro (community) or a macro (regional) scale. We present research that suggests vulnerability assessments need to be condu...
