Beschreibung
This book explores the risk management of natural hazard-triggered technological accidents (so called Natechs). The volume includes a selection of work first presented at the 5th International Symposium on Natural and Technological Accident Risk Reduction at Large Industrial Parks (5th Natech Symposium - Natech 2021), which took place on March 10 and 11, 2021. The 5th Natech Symposium, represented a unique opportunity to promote scientific exchange among diverse and multi-disciplinary stakeholders on risk management and risk governance of Natechs. The symposium brought together more than 100 participants from academia, local, national and international government organizations, industry and local community leaders from 26 countries from all over the world.
The consequences of past Natech accidents have highlighted the vulnerability of modern societies to these complex accident risks. Addressing the risk posed by Natechs requires comprehensive, area-wide efforts that go beyond one plant, or a single industrial park to the wider community of stakeholders in which industries carry out their production, processing, distribution, and operations. This requires new, proactive approaches to risk management with a broader scope. Therefore, by bringing in knowledge and methods from different disciplines, new points of view and approaches support a clearer understanding of Natech complexities and improved ways to manage the challenges they entail. The 5th Natech Symposium was an important catalist to promote research and foster multi-stakeholder and interdisciplinary collaboration leading to the publication of this volume.
The book may be of interest to researchers and academics, government authorities and first responders, industry managers and/or operators, and interested citizens. The book is divided into five sections including an analysis of Natech incidence and trends; investigation of past Natech accidents for lessons learning; advances in Natech risk assessment, modeling and simulation; an analysis of Natech risk management practices from the point of view of industry and government authorities; and risk communication and participatory disaster risk management.
