People, not just places: Expanding social vulnerability indices by social-psychological factors
(2021)Damage and disruption caused by floods do not just arise from the characteristics of physical structures, but also from the characteristics of residents inhabiting these structures. Social vulnerability studies typically ... -
Pilot project EroL: Erosion events caused by heavy rainfall in Markgräflerland- Recommended actions for affected communities
(2021)The foothill of the Black Forest, east of the river Rhine in the north of Basle, has a high potential for soil erosion hazards because of its topography and geology in combination with its land use. The district of Lörrach ... -
Pluvial flooding: hazard mapping and derivation of impact indicators
(2021)Climate change is likely to cause a change in frequency and intensity of convective thunderstorms and associated heavy precipitation. Typical consequences of such events are a rapid generation of surface runoff with high ... -
Post-disaster reorganisation of local and national institutions: the case of St. Martin after hurricane Irma (West Indies)
(2021)With the concept of "build back better", the United Nations emphasizes the importance of the recovery phase following a natural hazard as an opportunity to implement vulnerability reduction measures. This work here focuses ... -
