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

This book is part of a six-volume series on Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience. The series aims to fill in gaps in theory and practice in the Sendai Framework, and provides additional resources, methodologies and communication strategies to enhance the plan for action and targets proposed by the Sendai Framework. The series will appeal to a broad range of researchers, academics, students, policy makers and practitioners in engineering, environmental science and geography, geoscience, emergency management, finance, community adaptation, atmospheric science and information technology. This volume offers the international guidelines and global standards for resilient disaster risk reduction and lessons learned from disasters, particularly the COVID-19 and Cholera pandemics. A resilient health system and an effective disaster risk management Index are then suggested. The book further emphasizes urban resilience strategies with local authorities, adaptation strategies for urban heat at regional, city and local scales, and lessons from community-level interventions. Also addressed are coastal erosion, displacement and resettlement strategies. Land use planning and green infrastructure are suggested as tools for natural hazards reduction. Human security in times of climate change and urban heat at regional, city and local scales is discussed for an integrated action, with case studies based in Manila, Burkina Faso, Chad, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal, Nigeria, India, Spain, and Ghana. Structure design for cascading disasters resulting from mining and flooding is presented and sustainable smart city planning using spatial data is recommended.

This book presents case studies of risk management of various hazards and risk management systems at regional, national, and local levels. It also proposes a comprehensive approach to reduce future risks by collaborating with various stakeholders and preparing for the most effective responses toward complicated hazards, minimizing social damage.The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the concern as well as interest in the diversification of future risks and the complexity of the damage and impact that multiple risks may cause. These hazard risks include not only natural hazards, but also biological, industrial, and nuclear hazards along with other risks such as cyber-attacks, climate change, food security, conflict, and multiple hazards occurring simultaneously.The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, adopted in 2015 at the United Nations World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction, accounts for the risks caused by natural or manmade hazards as well as related environmental, technological, and biological hazards and risks. The framework guides the multi-hazard management of disaster risk in development at all levels and sectors. However, in the current disaster management system in most countries, different offices are responsible for each different hazard, making it extremely difficult to manage those hazard risks comprehensively.Having experienced the COVID-19 pandemic, it is now time to review the current risk management strategy and system, and thereafter discuss how to strengthen and transform our risk perception and manner of risk assessment and identification to tackle future multiple hazards. Simultaneously, further collaboration among experts from different backgrounds and fields will become indispensable. While the discussion of the need for an “all-hazards approach” has taken place for many years, there now needs to be discussion of a risk-focused framework.

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.
