Remotely Sensed Nightlights to Map Societal Exposure to Hydrometeorological Hazards
This study used remotely sensed maps of nightlights to investigate the etiology of increasing disaster losses from hydrometeorological hazards in a data-scarce area. We explored trends in the probability of occurrence of hazardous events (extreme rainfall) and exposure of the local population as components of risk. The temporal variation of the spatial distribution of exposure to hydrometeorolo...
متن کاملShellfish and residual chemical contaminants: hazards, monitoring, and health risk assessment along French coasts.
In this review, we address the identification of residual chemical hazards in shellfish collected from the marine environment or in marketed shellfish. Data, assembled on the concentration of contaminants detected, were compared with the appropriate regulatory and food safety standards. Moreover, data on human exposure and body burden levels were evaluated in the context of potential health ris...
متن کاملNatural hazards risk assessment using Bayesian networks
The objective of the present paper is the demonstration of the potential and advantages of Bayesian networks for the application in risk assessments for natural hazards. For this purpose, a general framework for natural hazards risk assessment is presented and a brief introduction to Bayesian networks is provided. The methodology is then applied to rating systems for assessing rock-fall hazard ...
متن کاملRetrospective Assessment of Risk to Natural Hazards
The existing disaster databases allow analyzing losses produced by previous events and assessing the risk to natural hazard in a similar way as the insurance industry does for vehicles, health, etc., if the conditions and trends are maintained. Among the existing disaster databases, we selected DesInventar whose vast majority of records correspond to “small” events; this selection is of special...
