Natural hazards can affect electricity infrastructure, leading to power outages and affecting the resilience of society during disaster. This study analyzed the effects of earthquakes, floods and space weather on the power grid to identify vulnerabilities and to understand how these natural...

This study investigates the change in the level of risk to critical infrastructure due to the impact of climate change on the frequency and severity of floods. We implement a case study focused on the power grid to demonstrate the methodology. The consideration of the power outage substantially...

Extreme space weather has a global footprint and can affect multiple critical infrastructures at the same time. An event of such magnitude could overwhelm a single nation's response capacity. Further efforts in research, and national and international coordination in preparedness and response...

Natural events, such as earthquakes and floods, can trigger accidents in oil and gas pipeline with potentially severe consequences to the population and to the environment. These conjoint technological and natural disasters are termed natech accidents. The present literature review focuses on...

Strong geomagnetic disturbances resulting from solar activity can have a major impact on ground-based infrastructures, such as power grids, pipelines and railway systems. The high voltage transmission network is particularly affected as currents induced by geomagnetic storms, so-called GICs, can...

Undertaking climate action and implementing robust climate risk management in the defence sector has become indispensable. Climate change poses significant risks to the defence workforce, both military and civilian. It threatens infrastructures, assets and capabilities, as well as communities in...

Geomagnetic storms (GMS) can seriously affect high voltage power transmission grids. More specifically, GMS can inject geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) into the power network, thus causing instabilities and eventually leading to grid collapse. Since GMS are expected to cause more...

Natural hazards can impact oil transmission pipelines with potentially adverse consequences on the population and the environment. They can also cause significant economic impacts to pipeline operators. Currently, there is only limited historical information available on the dynamics of natural...
