Under the changing and complex urban environment, gas pipeline leakage disasters are becoming increasingly complicated. In order to make a quantitative analysis of the coupling degree among each factor at different grades, this study adopts the comprehensive indexes of gas pipeline leakage disaster system based on AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and Entropy method. The calculation model of coupling degree is then established in accordance with the coupling degree theory in physics. This study takes a region in Beijing as an example and calculates the coupling degree of urban gas pipeline leakage disaster system. The result shows the coupling degree of disaster system is 0.303, which indicates that the whole disaster system is in a status of moderately unbalanced development (acceptable interval). The occurrence of disaster is subject to disaster-inducing environment and disaster-bearing body, and the disaster-inducing environment is slightly more obstructive to occurrence of disaster. On the other side, controlling the disaster-inducing factors can reduce the coupling degree of disaster system. The model is helpful to evaluate the development state of the disaster system, and point out the direction of disaster control.

Multi-objective optimization of mitigation strategies for buildings subject to multiple hazards

Himadri Sen Gupta, Tarun Adluri, Dylan Sanderson, Andres D. Gonzalez, Charles D. Nicholson, Daniel Cox

Summary: This study proposes a multi-objective optimization model to determine optimal retrofitting strategies to enhance community resilience under multiple hazards. The model is applied to analyze the impact of earthquake and tsunami hazards on the community of Seaside, Oregon. The results show that retrofitting buildings to achieve higher seismic codes can significantly reduce the impact of natural hazards on structural damage, population dislocation, and building repair times. It highlights the importance of considering geographical location and mitigation measures when optimizing retrofitting strategies.

Spatio-temporal variation and dynamic risk assessment of drought and flood disaster (DFD) in China

Huiying Sun, Zhenhua Di, Peihua Qin, Shenglei Zhang, Yang Lang

Summary: This study explored the spatio-temporal variations of drought-flood-disaster (DFD) risks in China using natural and socio-economic datasets. The main findings include the decrease in vulnerability, the increasing flood hazard danger degree, and the close relationship between disaster risk and vulnerability. The results have important implications for disaster management decision-making.

Emergency management short term response to extreme heat in the 25 most populated US cities

Nicholas Kimutis, Tamara Wall, Lyndsey Darrow

Summary: Overall, emergency management plans for extreme heat events in the U.S. show some level of consistency, but there are significant variations in response thresholds and metrics across different locations. Some cities have started adapting response thresholds based on local epidemiological studies, but there are still areas that have not lowered thresholds during cascading hazard events.

Examining the relationship between meteorological disaster economic impact and regional economic development in China

Chengfang Huang, Ning Li, Zhengtao Zhang, Yuan Liu

Summary: The economic impact of disasters is closely related to regional economic development. China's economic development is conducive to reducing the economic impact of disasters, but regional differences need to be clarified in policy formulation, with reducing indirect impact as a higher priority in more developed areas.

Wildfire exposure and risk in pulp paper companies' plantations under extreme weather conditions: A case study in North-Western Portugal

Chiara Bruni, Bruno Aparicio, Beatriz Lourenco, Martinho Marta-Almeida, Akli Benali, Susana Barreiro, Alfredo Rocha, Ana C. L. Sa

Summary: This study analyzes the wildfire hazard in a 115,000 ha landscape in Portugal and explores the threat posed to assets of pulp paper companies. It finds that eucalypt plantations not managed by the companies, particularly those with ages between 6 and 9 years, present a major risk. Over half of the landscape has the potential for large wildfires.
