The Foresight Review commissioned in 2012 has a section (co-written by me) on multiple hazard and risk mapping. I forgot to post something about it at the time. Click on the links below for access to the documents.
Reducing Risks of Future Disasters: Priorities for Decision Makers.
Evidence base document for download: State-of-the-Art in Risk Mapping
CASE STUDY: Global Multiple Hazard and Risk mapping (p49)
Authors: Mirianna E.A. Budimir, Peter M. Atkinson and Hugh G. Lewis
A quote from the document for you all:
"Multi-hazard risk assessment should also take into consideration the interaction between multiple hazards affecting an area. Natural hazards act in a natural system and as such are complex and affect each other. The cascading effects of natural hazards and their impact on resultant risk is an important area of research which has received little attention to date."
