Seminar day on Modeling of societal exposure and vulnerability to natural hazards
The Centre for Climate and Safety, CCS, at Karlstad University invited to a seminar day on the 4th of September on the theme Modelling of societal exposure and vulnerability connected to natural hazards. Speakers were Jesse Rozelle and Casey Zusak from the Federal Emergency Management Agency in USA and Daniel Knös from JLT Re.
To be able to make well informed decisions on climate related societal risks the best possible background information is needed. Several countries have developed and adapted a wide range of tools for risk evaluation. Are these tools applicable for risk evaluation purposes in a Swedish context? What are the potentials and challenges?
