Assessment of costs of natural hazard. A meta-guidance document

Released: 2013/12/16: See The full report

Summary

Recent attention paid to assessment of disaster losses has propelled development of a number of guidance documents, differing in extent/length, focus and level of detail. This meta-guidance lends itself as an introduction and annotated reference list. The most recent, prominent or representative guidance documents were selected. A link to the list and references will be provided in the wiki-like structure.

Authors: Jaroslav Mysiak (Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change - CMCC) and Fabio Farinosi (CMCC).

Reviewers: Mikko Huokuna (Finnish Environment Institute SYKE), Volker Meyer (Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research – UFZ)
