This book was released on 2022-12-01 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Natech symposium has been taking place since 2015, as an initiative of professors Naomi Kato, Shin-ichi Aoki and Ana María Cruz, from Osaka University and Kyoto University respectively. The primary objective of these symposiums has been the promotion of scientific and interdisciplinary exchange of experiences, risk assessment methods and innovative risk reduction measures that address Natech events (industrial accidents caused by large-scale natural events). In its different versions it has had researchers and participants from different countries, allowing the integration of initiatives and efforts that have been developed in this regard. The first symposium was held in March 2015 at Osaka University, and was entitled: International Symposium on Natural Disaster Impacts to Large Industrial Parks, it was funded by the Graduate School of Osaka University, the Airport and Port Research Institute (SIP), the Disaster Prevention Research Institute, and Kyoto University, in cooperation with the Calamity Science Institute.The second version of the event entitled: Activities of Research Initiatives for Natural Disaster Prevention of Oil and Gas Spill in Industrial Parks was held again at Osaka University in 2016. In March 2017, symposium number three was organized by the Disaster Prevention Research Institute (DPRI) and took place at Kyoto University. On this occasion, it was approached from the perspective of a workshop on Natech risk management tools, with the aim of making a practical demonstration of some tools available for Natech risk assessment, risk mitigation and emergency operations’ planning for various types of natural hazards. The workshop was attended by participants from 12 countries, including experts, students and stakeholders involved in Natech disaster risk reduction and similar topics. During 2018, the event moved to Ispra, Italy, where the Joint Research Center (JRC) of the European Commission and the University of Bologna were the hosts. On this occasion, the fourth event was named Natech Risk Reduction at Large Industrial Parks. The fifth version of the Natech symposium was held in 2021, again organized by Osaka University and Kyoto University. On this occasion, given the restrictions derived from the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was held virtually. Currently, the publication of two volumes in the IDRIM Springer Nature Book Series is being issued, which will be released by the end of 2022. This year (2022) Colombia was the host country of the sixth version of the Natech symposium, which was developed in a hybrid way (face-to-face and virtual), being the first time that this event is held in the American continent. On this occasion, the organizers of the event were the National Unit for Disaster Risk Management (UNGRD), Osaka University, Kyoto University and the Disaster Prevention Research Institute (DPRI). This event focused on the exchange of research experiences and lessons learned related to risk management of technological accidents triggered by natural events (Natech), for their understanding and approach in the Colombian territory.

Download or read book A Roadmap for the Comprehensive Assessment of Natech Risk written by Alessio Misuri and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2024-06-12 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Roadmap for the Comprehensive Assessment of Natech Risk: Management and Control of Technological Accidents Triggered by Natural Hazards in the Framework of Climate Change covers the latest advancements concerning the quantitative risk assessment and the management of cascading events involving technological accidents caused by natural hazards. These complex events are called Natech accidents, and their management and control are recognized as paramount priorities to enhance the resilience of critical infrastructures, and in particular of chemical and process facilities, in the framework of adaptation to climate change. The topic is introduced providing the description of past accidents, case-studies, and quantitative figures allowing the identification of the most vulnerable plant elements, of the complex features of accident scenarios, and of their rising trend possibly related to factors as climate change and growing industrialization. A state of the art of the available approaches to the assessment and management of Natech risk is provided. Advanced methodologies supporting a holistic approach to the assessment of scenarios driven by natural hazards are presented, enabling the identification and analysis of peculiar accident dynamics. In particular, the possible performance degradation of utilities and safety systems available on the sites and its role in accident initiation and escalation is addressed. Methodologies aiming at the assessment of the actual performance of safety barriers and safety systems during or immediately after the impact of a natural event are presented. Recent tools and data supporting the quantitative assessment of these features in the overall assessment of Natech risk are reported, highlighting the similarities with other typologies of cascading accidents. Several case studies are presented in the book, and each methodology presented is provided with an illustrative case-study providing guidance to its application. Provides user-friendly description of methodologies suitable for the application to complex industrial problems Includes worked case-studies to explicitly drive the application of the proposed methodologies Offers state-of-the-art, available tools to perform the assessment of Natech risk to provide a quick toolbox to be applied to complex industrial problems
Download or read book Introduction to RAPID N for Natech Risk Analysis and Mapping written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of natural hazards on industrial plants, pipelines, offshore platforms and other infrastructure that handles, stores or transports hazardous substances can cause fires, explosions, and toxic or radioactive releases. These so called Natech accidents are a recurring but often overlooked feature in many natural disasters and have often had significant human, environmental and economic impacts. Successfully controlling Natech risk is usually a major challenge, which requires targeted prevention, preparedness and response. Systematic analysis of the Natech risk is a prerequisite for this purpose. Developed by the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) in response to requests by competent authorities, the Rapid Natech Risk Analysis and Mapping System (RAPID-N) is an online software for the quick analysis and mapping of Natech accident risk both at local and regional levels. The system unites natural-hazard impact and damage assessment, Natech scenario development, and chemical accident consequence analysis capabilities under a single roof featuring an open, extensible, and collaborative architecture facilitating data entry, analysis and visualisation. Since it became operational in 2012, the user base of RAPID-N has been growing, including more and more users from public authorities, research organisations, academia, and the private sector. According to feedback from the users, the system has been further developed in time to provide additional capabilities, such as a modern and mobile-friendly user interface, a more advanced analysis framework, and extended support for various natural hazards and industrial activities. Besides a comprehensive user manual, case-studies and hands-on training are also provided by the JRC to support the users. As part of these support activities, this beginner's guide aims to deliver a comprehensive, yet easy-to-follow introduction to Natech risk analysis and mapping by using RAPID-N. The user interface, data estimation framework, and risk analysis methodology are explained in detail. Step-by-step tutorials are provided for various Natech risk analysis case-studies ranging from a simple single industrial plant scenario to a scenario involving multiple industrial plants and multiple plant equipment. The guide also includes updated information to the User Manual by describing features and capabilities added, updated, or deprecated since the publication of the manual.

Download or read book Natural Disasters and Risk Management in Canada written by Nirupama Agrawal and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-27 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These chapters provide valuable and comprehensive information on a variety of hazards, including both scientific and social aspects of disasters. The work introduces the concept of large, medium and small scale hazards, and includes many useful case studies as well as working examples of theoretical concepts. As readers will acknowledge, today the distinction between natural and technological hazards is becoming blurred and a new concept of NATECH hazards is evolving. For permanent hazards (such as tides, wind waves, coastal erosion and climate change) routine predictions are made, whereas for evanescent hazards (including droughts, sea level rise, and coastal subsidence), monitoring of various parameters is the norm. Only for episodic hazards (for example hurricanes, winter storms, tsunamis, and river floods), early warning systems are used, with varying degrees of success. The book explores how, for certain episodic hazards like tornadoes, landslides, forest fires, snow avalanches, and volcanic eruptions, the early warning systems are still in various stages of development. Readers will gain knowledge of theoretical and practical concepts of risk evaluation which assist in better understanding of disaster dynamics, and readers will become better equipped in quantification of disaster risk and vulnerability. The author explains how risk reduction initiatives, taking into account stakeholders’ participation and perception, can provide a roadmap to building resilient communities and cities. This book will be useful not only to practitioners of disaster management but also to research scholars and graduate students. It is highly readable and will appeal more broadly too, to all those who are interested in the very latest thinking on, and expert analysis of, hazards and disasters.
Download or read book Chaos Organization and Disaster Management written by Alan Kirschenbaum and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2003-11-18 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chaos Organization and Disaster Management offers a scholarly survey of disaster response behavior and management in the face of natural and manmade catastrophe. The author provides a methodological and empirical platform from which to initiate a critical analysis of disaster management. Sparked by a unique field study of the Israeli experience during the Gulf War, this book demonstrates the massive divide between individual responses to disaster and the actual functioning of disaster management organizations. It exposes the fundamental flaws of disaster management agencies, analyzing disasters from the perspectives of both agencies and potential victims. Formulating an alternative approach to disaster management that draws upon the advantages of privatization, this volume appraises methods of measuring disaster agency effectiveness, emphasizing the citizen vantage point and stakeholder evaluations. It outlines the intrinsic bureaucratic constraints that impede the efficacy of government agencies, and reveals the disconnect between organizational and victim perceptions of disaster. By highlighting a new empirically based understanding of disaster behavior, the book recommends moving the focus of disaster management to a social process model that will save lives.

Download or read book Towards Disaster Risk Reduction written by Jason K. Levy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-29 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constitutes a landmark attempt to address, comprehensively and in-depth, a policy-focused approach to the many timely and important issues associated with building a culture of disaster prevention and disaster risk reduction. This book not only provides key insights into the field of natural hazard and disaster studies but also assesses the causes, perspectives, and consequences of natural disasters, as well as providing a global survey of post-recovery policies. The contributions found herein discuss disaster risk reduction strategies and policies for managing the unexpected and cascading impacts of natural disasters. A particular focus is placed on transboundary catastrophes that cross policy domains, geographic, political, and sectoral boundaries. Since the disaster management and natural resources policy research field draws on a diverse range of paradigms and influences, the book includes case histories, empirical studies, conceptual-theoretical investigations, policy perspectives, institutional analysis, and risk analyses. The role of human culture, disaster psychology and environmental monitoring are examined in depth. Deficiencies and inequalities in local, national, and global disaster response are also discussed. Original strategies for reducing disaster risk are put forward and the prospects for a major change in the direction of global policy on disasters. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Natural Resources Policy Research.
