Definition

  • A risk event is any occurrence that could result in potential damage or loss to the urban system. The impact of the risk event can be measured according to the value attributed to the elements (potentially) affected by the risk event. Hazard Situations can trigger Risk Events. This means that the existence of a set of Hazard Situations can result in a set of (contingent) Risk Events. The relationship between the risk driver and the urban system at risk is based on these events. In turn, a Risk Event can lead to a chain of Risk Events.
