Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present the results of a pilot study involving high school teachers in natural sciences. The aim was to foster critical thinking about cascading hazards via the use of reasoned imagination. Cascading phenomena can lead to extreme catastrophes and are thus a challenge for disaster prevention and management. Design/methodology/approach – Following a presentation listing some known cascading phenomena, the participants completed a questionnaire consisting of a blank hazard correlation matrix (HCM) and some open-ended questions. The HCM qualitatively described possible interactions between 16 different perils selected from a large spectrum of natural, technological and socio-economic hazards. Findings – Most participants were able to describe cascading phenomena within the HCM by reducing them into sets of one-to-one interactions. Based on their experience and imagination, the participants foresaw additional interactions that were not discussed, never observed but are scientifically plausible. The majority of the respondents reported that they learnt something new and wanted to learn more about cascading hazards. Originality/value – The HCM is especially effective in translating complex hazard scenarios into basic interactions and vice versa. Being imaginative (here via the use of reasoned imagination) and accessible, the HCM could be used as basis for transformative learning in the education of the public and of practitioners on the role of cascading hazards in catastrophes.

“…In effect, the aerotropolis represents the extreme end of critical infrastructure concentration. Apart from asymmetric threat scenarios, the devastating effects of adverse meteorological and seismic phenomena must also be taken into consideration [9,91]. The increasing interconnectedness of critical infrastructure systems also compounds the importance of protecting critical infrastructure [92,93].…”

“…For example, the earthquake and tsunami in Japan on 11 March 2011damaged nuclear power plants and forced more than 200,000 residents living in the area around the facilities to evacuate (Norman, 2011), and the Indian Ocean tsunami on 26 December 2004 resulted in more than 283,000 people being killed or reported missing (Levy and Gopalakrishnan, 2005). Moreover, statistical data reveal that more than one major 'hazmat' (hazardous materials) incident occurs every day in the United States (Pearce, 2008).…”

Uniting multi‐adult households during emergency evacuation planning

When a no-notice emergency prompts an evacuation, family members in different locations throughout a city may unite so that they can evacuate as a group. This paper draws on data from more than 300 interviews conducted in the metropolitan area of Chicago, Illinois, United States. The study uses discrete choice models to analyse the expectations of respondents regarding whether their likely plans for evacuation involve gathering spouses, parents, adult-age children, and/or non-family members. In addition, it addresses the matter of whether respondents plan to reunite with family members at home. Individuals' access to a personal car is the dominating factor in predicting whether respondents plan to gather a spouse. Being the parent of a child under the age of 18 years increases the tendency to report planning to reunite with family members at home. Both commute mode and car availability are not significantly associated with plans to reunite at home.
