Abstract

This book proposes an appraisal methodology for the direct and indirect costs of the effects of natural disasters in a particular region and the resulting cascading events which follow in the multiregional/global scope. The evaluation of these costs constitutes the Multiregional Flood Footprint Assessment (MFFA). The term “natural” disaster is used in the sense of a natural hazard that significantly harms a community and might be a man-accelerated natural event (Gould et al. 2016), for example, an earthquake, a flood, a heat wave, a hurricane, or a volcanic eruption.
