Adaptive Disaster Risk Assessment - Combining Multi Hazards With Socioeconomic Vulnerability Dynamic

This dissertation developed an Adaptive Disaster Risk Assessment (ADRA) framework for weather-related disasters in the context of SIDS. The adaptivity of the framework comes from the explicit assessment of the exposure component and from the modular and flexibility of an index-based approach used to assess the socioeconomic vulnerability.

About the author

Neiler Medina is a PhD researcher in Urban Water Systems at IHE Delft Institute for Water Education, Delft, The Netherlands. Neiler obtained his BSc, in Sanitary Engineering, a post-graduate certificate as a specialist in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and his MSc in Water Science and Engineering, specialization Hydroinformatics from UNESCO-IHE. Mr Medina is an experienced water engineer with an extensive background in modelling water systems, focus on urban drainage and sewerage networks. His expertise also includes disaster risk assessment/management for hydro-meteorological hazards such as floods and hurricanes, including hazard modelling, socioeconomic vulnerability and exposure assessment and mapping.

Summary

The adaptivity of the framework comes from the explicit assessment of the exposure component and from the modular and flexibility of an index-based approach used to assess the socioeconomic vulnerability.
