Risk assessment of natural and anthropogenic catastrophes

Article preview

The increasing number of disasters and associated material and human losses requires the development of new approaches and methods of risk assessment. A general system of flood risk assessment based on spatial and temporal hydrological parameters of potential flood zones and general principles of cartographic execution of these zones has been developed. An original scheme of risk modeling based on air and water quality indicators and indices is considered.
