Review of multi-hazard indices : Focus on methods applicable for a Swedish context
(2021) In TVBB- Abstract
- A literature review of methods where different hazards are combined into a multi-hazard index or method are presented in this report. The purpose of the review is to get an insight into approaches to combine different hazards into a multi-hazard index or method.
To directly combine hazards, it is necessary to present them with the same unit of measure. This can be done with different measures for normalizing or using weights. Maps are often used to get an understanding of the spatial distribution of the hazard as well as the hazard level. No specific method or tool that can be applied directly for relevant hazards in Sweden have been found in this review. However, several general principles and methods that are considered...
