A mathematical framework for quantifying physical damage over time from concurrent and consecutive hazards Abstract. Space and time play a crucial role in multi-hazard impact assessment. When two or more natural hazards occur at the same location simultaneously or within a short time frame, the physical in...

We've taken our #multiHazard impact framework (De Angeli et al., 2022) to the next level, developing a mathematical model to quantify #damage over time from #concurrent & #consecutive hazards.
