Natural disasters may be powerful and prominent mechanisms of direct or indirect release of hazardous material (hazmat) (Young et al., 2004). If industrial sites are located in naturally hazardprone areas, technological accidents may be triggered by natural events, such as storms, earthquakes, flooding, and lightning, generating the so-called Na-Tech (Natural and Technological) events and may m...

With the increase in industrial accidents induced by natural disasters, study of earthquake risk assessment has been widely considered scholars. However, cascade evolution Natech (natural–technological) disasters not thoroughly studied, especially chemical parks with complex technological processes. From perspective scenario deduction, combined cross-impact analysis and a damping interpretation...

earthquakes in urban areas leave behind a considerable amount of debris, which delays the relief services and the reconstruction activities. the relief work would be impossible without the removal of debris from the main access roads to the devastated areas. the proper implementation of this endeavor requires a long-term management of debris. this article discusses development of strategic mana...
