Volcanic hazard impacts to critical infrastructure: A review

Methodological Framework for Analysing Cascading Effects from Flood Events: The Case of Sukhumvit Area, Bangkok, Thailand

“…Logical interdependency is bidirectional and does not depend on any physical or cyber connection (e.g., electric power and financial infrastructure) [33]. However, in the work of [35], the authors added two more types of interdependencies in addition to the policy or procedural and societal interdependencies [34].…”

“…This event then can lead to a shortage of power generation in the area, which can in turn cause further disruptions. Not only is the electricity network so important for the functioning of a community, but also electric power failure could lead to disruptions in other infrastructures [33,35]; see Figure 1.…”

Current Efforts for Prediction and Assessment of Natural Disasters: Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Volcanic eruptions, Hurricanes, Tornados, and Floods

“…Marzocchi and Bebbington [76] presented a review of the probabilistic eruption forecasting (PEF), i.e., estimating the probability and whereabouts of a volcanic eruption, in a complex multi-dimensional time-space-magnitude framework. Wilson et al [80] presented a review of the negative impacts on the infrastructure generated by volcanic hazards. Rouwet et al [81] presented a summary of non-magmatic unrest processes and potential indicators for volcanic hazards.…”

“…For these tasks, a large number of methods have been proposed such as a statistical method using Weibull analysis and a non-homogeneous generalized Pareto-Poisson process [83], a mixture of exponentials distributions [84], a Bayesian event tree to estimate volcanic hazard (BET VH) [85][86][87], a Bayesian event tree for eruption forecasting [88], the extreme value theory [89] A detailed description of GIS and their application to natural hazards is presented by Tarolli and Cavalli [101]. Such analysis of data has allowed addressing many applications such as analysis of lava ows [95], discrimination of volcanic ashes according to textures [102], ranking of volcanic threats [103], zonation of volcanic hazards [104], zonation of lava ow [105], analysis of sensitivity to lahar hazards for variations in exposed population [106], forecast of style and size of eruptions [82], pattern recognition of volcanic tremor data [107], management of volcanic crises [108], modelling of volcanic source [90], location of incipient volcanic vents [75], characterization of thermal volcanic activities [91], land-use and contingency planning as risk mitigation strategies [80], and development of volcanic alert systems [109].…”

Evaluating the impacts of volcanic eruptions using RiskScape

“…Volcanic eruptions are multi-hazard events that have a range of impacts ranging from total devastation and mass fatalities to minor societal nuisance (e.g., Auker et al, 2013;Wilson et al, 2014;Loughlin et al, 2015;. Eruptions can last minutes to decades, and can produce concurrent, sequential, and/or recurrent hazards.…”
