Risk analysis V : Computer simulation in risk analysis & hazard mitigation

Covering a series of important topics, which are of current research interest and have practical applications, this book examines all aspects of risk analysis and hazard mitigation, ranging from specific assessment of risk to mitigation associated with both natural and anthropogenic hazards. Originally presented at the Fifth International Conference on Computer Simulation in Risk Analysis and Hazard Mitigation, the papers cover topics such as: Risk Mitigation, Estimation of Risk, Hazard Prevention, Management and Control, Data Collection and Analysis, Information Society Technologies in Risk, Man-made Risk, Seismic Hazard, Marine and Maritime Risk, Landslides and Slope Movements, Floods and Droughts, Soil, Water and Air Contamination, Health Issues, Policy and Decision Making, Risk and Sustainability and Operational Issues such as Energy Response, Risk Communication, Risk Perception.
