Natural Hazards Review

期刊简介：The Natural Hazards Review addresses the range of events, processes, and consequences that occur when natural hazards interact with the physical, social, economic, and engineered dimensions of communities and the people who live, work, and play in them. As these conditions interact and change, the impact on human communities increases in size, scale, and scope. Such interactions necessarily need to be analyzed from an interdisciplinary perspective that includes both social and technical measures. For decision makers, the risk presents the challenge of managing known hazards, but unknown consequences in time of occurrence, scale of impact, and level of disruption in actual communities with limited resources. The journal is dedicated to bringing together the physical, social, and behavioral sciences; engineering; and the regulatory and policy environments to provide a forum for cutting edge, holistic, and cross-disciplinary approaches to anticipating risk, loss, and cost reduction from natural hazards. The journal welcomes rigorous research on the intersection between social and technical systems that advances concepts of resilience within lifeline and infrastructure systems and the organizations that manage them for all hazards. It offers a professional forum for researchers and practitioners working together to publish the results of truly interdisciplinary and partnered approaches to the anticipation of risk, loss reduction, and community resilience. Engineering topics covered include the characterization of hazard forces and the planning, design, construction, maintenance, performance, and use of structures in the physical environment. Social and behavioral sciences topics include analysis of the impact of hazards on communities and the organizations that seek to mitigate and manage response to hazards.

【译文】《自然灾害评论》探讨了自然灾害与社区及其居住、工作和娱乐的人们的物理、社会、经济和工程维度相互作用时发生的一系列事件、过程和后果。随着这些条件相互作用和变化，对人类社区的影响在规模、范围和程度上不断增加。这种相互作用必然需要从跨学科的角度进行分析，包括社会和技术措施。对于决策者来说，风险在发生时、影响规模和实际社区中的破坏程度以及资源有限的情况下，都提出了管理已知危害但未知后果的挑战。该期刊致力于将物理、社会和行为科学；工程；以及监管和政策环境汇集在一起，为预测自然灾害的风险、损失和成本降低提供前沿、全面和跨学科的论坛。该期刊欢迎对社交和技术系统交叉的研究，这些研究推进了生命线和基础设施系统及其管理组织的韧性概念。它为研究人员和实践者提供了一个专业论坛，共同发表真正跨学科和伙伴关系的成果，以预测风险、损失减少和社区韧性。
