Risk (technical approach)

The probability of harmful consequences, or expected losses
Risk = Hazard x Consequence
(deaths, injuries, property, livelihoods, economic activity
disrupted or environment damaged) resulting from
interactions between natural or human-induced hazards and
vulnerable conditions.
Conventionally riskExposure
is expressed by&theVulnerability
notation
Risk = Hazards x Vulnerability.
Some disciplines also include the concept of exposure to
refer particularly to the physical aspects of vulnerability.

Input for the Risk Components
Hazard:
Type of hazard (geological instability, erosion, radon, flood.)
Probability of occurrence
Extent and magnitude
Exposure:
No. of people affected
No. of buildings affected
Length of affected network infrastructure (roads, pipelines, water
supply)
Vulnerability:
Sensitivity
Value
GeoInforM
Examples for Vulnerability
Buildings vulnerability (sensitivity) to geological instabilities:

Vulnerability = construction type + age of building + height of
building + maintenance + single house or row of houses
Road networks vulnerability to geological instabilities:

Vulnerability = length + importance (+condition)
Peoples vulnerability to Radon:

Vulnerability = construction type of building + drinking water
source & consumption or radon in air

Investigations of opinions and

ratings from hazard and spatial
planning experts on importance
of certain hazard on European
scale
Three round => average
estimation
Another application on regional
scale

Multi-hazard (multi-risk) mapping
Summing up of single hazard grid layers => classification of

multi-hazards into five classes (very high, high, medium, low,
very low)
Using the method of summing up the grids makes it possible to
look backwards what is the data behind the qualitative risk
assessment
See simplified example from Finland used to classify construction
suitability on the regional scale
GeoInforM
11
Construction suitability data (simplified

example from Finland)
All data is converted to 25x25 metre grid
Soil types have classes 1-20, and other mapping elements have
classes 30-60
6 = clay, 60 = water
Slope steepness have classes 100-400

< 5 % = 100, > 30 % = 400
Thickness of fine-grained sediments have classes 1000-5000

< 2,5 m = 1000, > 25 m = 5000
GeoInforM
12
Construction suitability data (2)
End result: Raster map where Quaternary geological mapping

data + slope steepness + thickness of fine-grained sediments are
summed up
Coding of grids:
1000 - 5000 thickness
100 - 400 slope steepness
1 - 16 soil type
Example: Grid-code = 3106
thickness of fine-grained sediments 3000 (= 4,5-13 m)

slope steepness 100 (= <5%)
soil type 6 (= clay)
