Bangladesh's vulnerability to cyclonic coastal flooding
Aurélia Bernard,Aurélia Bernard,Aurélia Bernard,Nathalie Long,Melanie Becker,Jamal Uddin Khan,Jamal Uddin Khan,Sylvie Fanchette +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new metric, called socio-spatial vulnerability index (SSVI), is defined as function of both the probability of the cyclonic flood hazard and the sensitivity of delta inhabitants.
Dissertation
Optimisation for Large-scale Maintenance, Scheduling and Vehicle Routing Problems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated models and algorithms to solve large scale Geographically Distributed asset Maintenance Problems (GDMP) and proposed a hyperheuristic method embedded with customised low-level heuristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Research on fine Spatial Quantitative Model about vulnerability of hazard-affected bodies
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a refined spatial quantification model of regional vulnerability which combines refined spatial geographic data and land-use type data, and a quantitative study on regional vulnerability was carried out by defining fine spatial grid as the basic evaluation unit based on GIS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social vulnerability, social-ecological resilience and coastal governance
TL;DR: This paper found that the framing of social vulnerability in coastal governance is mainly influenced by engineering, community and disaster resilience, focusing on return and recovery governance responses to environmental change (e.g. hurricanes, wildfires).

Journal ArticleDOI
A place-based model for understanding community resilience to natural disasters
Susan L. Cutter,Lindsey Barnes,Melissa Berry,Christopher G. Burton,Elijah Evans,Eric Tate,Jennifer J. Webb +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the disaster resilience of place (DROP) model is proposed to improve comparative assessments of disaster resilience at the local or community level, and a candidate set of variables for implementing the model are also presented as a first step towards its implementation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disaster Resilience Indicators for Benchmarking Baseline Conditions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a methodology and a set of indicators for measuring baseline characteristics of communities that foster resilience by establishing baseline conditions, it becomes possible to monitor changes in resilience over time in particular places and to compare one place to another.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Social Vulnerability Index for Disaster Management
TL;DR: In this article, the development of a social vulnerability index (SVI) from 15 census variables at the census tract level for use in emergency management is described, and the potential value of the SVI by exploring the impact of Hurricane Katrina on local populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping community determinants of heat vulnerability.
Colleen E. Reid,Marie S. O'Neill,Carina J. Gronlund,Shannon J. Brines,Daniel G. Brown,Ana V. Diez-Roux,Jennifer Schwartz +6 more
TL;DR: The evidence that heat waves can result in both increased deaths and illness is substantial, and concern over this issue is rising because of climate change as discussed by the authors, and adverse health impacts from h...

A flood vulnerability index for coastal cities and its use in assessing climate change impacts
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a Coastal City Flood Vulnerability Index (CCFVI) based on exposure, susceptibility and resilience to coastal flooding, which is applied to nine cities around the world, each with different kinds of exposure.
