Global climate change, urbanization, and environmental degradation substantially increase our exposure and vulnerability to natural hazards. Therefore, it is crucial to systematically establish persistent policy, institutional and methodological framework with the support of new geospatial technology for a comprehensive disaster risk analysis and assessment.
The use of advanced and modern mapping techniques has revolutionized disaster management cycles for susceptibility, hazard, vulnerability, and risk assessment, risk reduction planning, disaster preparedness, damage assessment and post-disaster analysis at local, regional and global scales.
The ISMHR 2015: International Symposium on Multi-Hazard and Risk 2015 has the overall aim of bringing together stakeholders, decision makers, policy makers, prominent figure, leading academic scientists, researchers, and the public to explicitly discuss and advance our understanding on disaster risks focusing on landslides and floods in a changing environment.
This professional event also deals with the multi-hazard risk analysis, assessment and evaluation from natural and human induced, e.g. geological hazard, hydro-meteorological hazards, environmental hazards, and technological hazards. It provides the premier trans-, inter-, and multi-disciplinary forum for federal- and state government officers at different hierarchies, academicians, and researchers to interactively discuss the possible problems and solutions in the entire process of multi-hazard risk assessment.
