Although there is emerging scientific literature on climate change, risk and policy action, the interdisciplinary nature of…
This contributing paper explores the opportunities offered by digital media mining to complement impact databases. Impact data on past disasters caused by natural hazards (in short, impact data) are of paramount importance for several applications.

This contributing paper explores the use of probabilistic counterfactual analysis to calculate and highlight the ‘probabilistic lives saved’ from disaster risk management interventions, that would otherwise remain unnoticed. The goal of Disaster Risk Management (DRM) is to ensure that society continues to function, thrive, and recover quickly despite sh…
This contributing paper explains how indirect economic impacts are computed, the necessary input data, and includes example applications for a hypothetical multi-dam breach, a hypothetical earthquake, and a hypothetical hurricane in the Caribbean (a non-US example). When measuring potential damages associated with a particular threat, there are both dir…
