====== Natural Disasters ====== === Compiled by === Laércio M. Namikawa - laercio@dpi.inpe.br ===== Formal Definitions ===== ==== Risk ==== ==== Vulnerability ==== "The word 'vulnerability' comes from the Latin verb vulnerare,'to wound', and signifies exposure to physical or moral harm. Thus it is a hypothetical concept that only assumes a tangible reality when impact transforms it into damage." Alexander,D.E., 2005 (p.175-176) ==== Susceptibility ==== ==== Natural Hazard ==== Any natural process that poses threat to human life or property. ==== Natural Disaster ==== === Data === [[http://www.emdat.be/|International Disaster Database]] ==== Warning System ==== ===== Software ====== * [[http://www.dpi.inpe.br/sismaden|TerraMA2]] ===== Courses ====== * CST-308 \\ Link to [[http://ess.inpe.br/courses/doku.php?id=cst-308|Desastres Naturais]] ===== Places and News ===== * [[http://www.inpe.br/noticias/noticia.php?Cod_Noticia=2437|INPE divulga imagens que mostram detalhes da destruição na região serrana do RJ]] \\ [[http://www.dpi.inpe.br/public/MCT_Envento_rio_Jan2011/|Imagens do evento Rio/2011]] * [[http://www.disasterscharter.org/| International Charter "Space and Major Disasters"]] * [[http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/cotidiano/941866-rio-vai-comprar-dois-radares-de-alerta-de-tempestade.shtml|Rio vai comprar dois radares de alerta de tempestade]] * [[http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/|NASA - Earth Observatory]] * [[http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=1845|2011 the most expensive year for natural disasters in history]] * [[http://noticias.uol.com.br/cotidiano/2011/07/21/santa-catarina-registra-ventos-de-ate-155-kmh-durante-passagem-de-frente-fria.jhtm|Santa Catarina registra ventos de até 155 km/h durante passagem de frente fria]] ==== Interview ==== * [[http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/Interviews/goodman_20110517.php?src=features-recentm|Natural Disasters and NASA—What Is The Agency’s Role?]] ===== References ====== ==== Books ===== * Geographical Information Systems in Assessing Natural Hazard.
