Quantifying and understanding the risk of these hazards and their impacts on health and the dynamics of social vulnerability is essential for society to adapt to current and future change. These complex relationships call for a paradigm shift in impact and risk assessment of extreme events towards focusing on a wider perspective of risk including indirect and intangible impacts. Addressing these aims will help improve our understanding of the interplay between hazards and impacts on health and society. Furthermore, addressing these multi-disciplinary research aims requires insight into spatial and temporal changes in the dynamics of social vulnerability (e.g., socioeconomic and demographic characteristics) in the pretext of cascading or compound impacts, which is often lacking in conventional risk assessments.
This section invites contributions that address this complex context with a special focus on:
- assessing direct and indirect impacts that are induced by any kind of natural hazard, both acute and slow-onset or by a combination of concurrent/cascading hazard
- intangible impacts beyond the 'standard' direct monetizable losses (e.g., disruption of critical services and supply, business interruption, loss of irreplaceable items or ecosystem services)
- exploring novel methods for mapping temporal and spatial social vulnerability (machine learning, spatial disaggregation techniques) and analyze temporal and spatial dynamics in social vulnerability (both observed changes and future changes)
- impacts on physical and mental health and (future) health impacts of long-term exposure to climatic stressors and adaptation to prevent adverse health outcomes
- impacts on specific population groups (e.g., socially vulnerable groups) and on health care systems
