Health Effects of Coastal Storms and Flooding in Urban Areas: A Review and Vulnerability Assessment
Coastal storms can take a devastating toll on the public's health. Urban areas like New York City (NYC) may be particularly at risk, given their dense population, reliance on transportation, energy infrastructure that is vulnerable to flood damage, and high-rise residential housing, which may be hard-hit by power and utility outages. Climate change will exacerbate these risks in the coming deca...

1. introduction nowadays, population increase, progress in science and technology and development of industrial installations with the shortage of places in metropolitan areas have made considerable changes in the morphology of watersheds. violation to territory of rivers, channels, and streams causes alterations in natural drainage pattern and overflowing due to the lower capacity of the chang...
متن کاملFlooding Level Estimation in Urban Areas with Sar Images
The main aim of this paper is to evaluate the level of flooding in proximity of sensible targets in urban areas using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. To this purpose two approaches are possible: Local Approach and Global Approach. The Local approach is based on just one SAR Image (in this case, the post-event SAR image) and allows the evaluation of the water level in proximity of the sel...
متن کاملAssessing vulnerability to earthquake hazards through spatial multicriteria analysis of urban areas
Assessing urban vulnerability to natural hazards such as earthquakes can be regarded as an ill-structured problem (i.e. a problem for which there is no unique, identifiable, objectively optimal solution). A review of the literature indi cates a number of contrasting definitions of what vulnerability means, as well as numerous conflicting perspectives on what should or should not be included wi...
متن کاملThe Prevalence of Urban Areas Vulnerability to Seismic Risk (A Case Study of Region One, Tehran)
Urban planning rules and considering land use regarding faults can change the consequences of natural hazard such as earthquake. Vulnerability risk is increasing in Region 1 because of existence of the north fault, steep slopes and continuous construction of high-rise buildings. It is clear that Region 1’s Master Plan shouldn’t be prepared without considering natural hazard such as ...
