This special volume contains a selection of papers that were
presented as part of the Seventh International Symposium on Natural
and Man-Made Hazards (HAZARDS-98), held in Chania, Crete Island,
Greece, during May 1998. The Symposium attracted broad
international interest because many cases of natural disaster
events, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, storm surges, forest fires,
etc., that occurred in several parts of the world during the 1990s
were presented not only for their physics but also from the point
of view of their impact on society and their environmental
consequences. Among these cases are the 1997 Red River Valley flood
in Canada and the large earthquake of 18 November 1997, in
Zakynthos, Greece. In addition, the volume contains contributions
that apply advanced statistical methods and artificial intelligence
techniques, such as GIS, and systems analysis to approach the
description of physical processes, the discrimination of
experimental data and the assessment and management of risk.
Audience: This volume forms an excellent reference for scientists,
students, engineers, the insurance industry, authorities
specializing in public safety and natural hazards preparedness and
mitigation plans.
