Overview

Randomized trial assesses multi-hazard risks for schools, highlighting a new framework for better preparedness.

Key Points

  • This research aims to address the limitations of existing single-hazard risk assessments by proposing a unified framework for multi-hazard evaluation.
  • Developed a scalable, unified framework addressing flood, earthquake, and landslide hazards for educational facilities.
  • Utilized pan-European open datasets for analysis across over 1700 school buildings in Central Macedonia, Greece.
  • Incorporated a probabilistic Bayesian network to evaluate hazard interactions and vulnerabilities.
  • Identified significant interactions between flood, earthquake, and landslide hazards at the asset level.
  • Provided a robust, quantitative assessment of multi-hazard risks for schools, filling a critical knowledge gap.
  • Demonstrated the framework's applicability across Europe, aiding in regional risk-informed decision-making.
