Special Issue Introduction
Multi-hazard risk analysis is broad and complex and is not a simple aggregation of each disaster, e.g., earthquake, tsunami, fire, etc. Instead, it comprehensively considers the hazards in a specific geographic area and time and their magnitude, interaction, and interpretation of their compounding outcomes on a target group. Over the past decade, there has been growing research interest related to multi-hazard risk analysis, which covers the entire life cycle of the structure and infrastructure, i.e., monitoring, detection, and management. In addition, with the repaid development of both hardware and software, new equipment and technologies are appended to the existing methods as well, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Unmanned Automated Vehicle (UAV), Computer Vision (CV), Artificial Intelligence (AI), etc. These topics expand the scope of the multi-hazard risk analysis and have great potential for application in hazard prevention, which deserves further studies.
This Special Issue aims to cover the recent research progress, the latest development, and open challenges in multi-hazard risk areas, including but not limited to state-of-the-art reviews, new theories, novel methodologies, innovative and significant applications, etc.
