Approaches to a Multi-hazard Risk Analysis for Selected Natural and Technological Hazards

JELINEK, Robert; WOOD, Maureen; PAUDITS, Peter

This paper briefly summarises the findings from the Joint Research Centre survey on general practices for mapping in eleven (11) new Member States: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia for eight (8) major natural and technological hazards such as floods, forest fires, storms, landslides, earthquakes, industrial installations, transport of dangerous goods and contaminated lands. The current situation regarding overall risk mapping indicates that in the new Member States there is significant diversity and incompatibility between different mapping practices across hazards and countries, and sometimes even between regions within countries. The second part of the paper describes selected concepts of a multi-hazard and risk analysis in order to identify the most effective way of working towards harmonized or comparable map coverage across the different risk sectors.
