Natural Hazard Risk Assessment and Management Methodologies Review: Europe [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
In the last decade, Europe-wide natural hazards have accounted for large numbers of the most serious causes of mortality; this death toll accompanies several billions of euros in damages. These facts support the need to reduce natural hazard impacts on the European territory in which, by in large, are going to augment in the future primarily due to climatic change and inappropriate land use management. In this context risk assessment and management through appropriate prevention and protection measures play fundamental roles in redefining natural hazard occurrences, risk areas prone to these events and reducing future phenomena at all levels. To better integrate the contextual role of risk assessment and management a descriptive state of the art based on scientific publications reviewed from 2000 to present is broken down into two domain types: hydro-meteorological and geophysical hazard events. A comparative examination draws potential viewpoints on choice of methodology which largely depends on the considered area and addressed target. Focus is put on analysing the prevention, protection and preparedness principle in which can define conclusive technical development; based on the results, some conclusions are drawn to support further developments at the knowledge-base level.
