Natural hazards can cause multiple and simultaneous releases of Hazardous materials over extended areas, damage or destroy safety barriers and systems, and down lifelines often needed for accident prevention and mitigation. These are also the ingredients for cascading disasters. For this reason, successfully controlling a Natech accident has often turned out to be a major challenge, if not impossible, where no prior preparedness planning had taken place.

Abstract
Natural hazards can cause multiple and simultaneous releases of Hazardous materials over extended areas, damage or destroy safety barriers and systems, and down lifelines often needed for accident prevention and mitigation. These are also the ingredients for cascading disasters. For this reason, successfully controlling a Natech accident has often turned out to be a major challenge, if not impossible, where no prior preparedness planning had taken place.File in questo prodotto:
