Includes bibliographical references and index.
This book is concerned with many different aspects of computer simulation in risk analysis and hazard mitigation ranging from the specific assessment of risk to mitigation associated with both natural and anthropogenic hazards. Covering a series of important topics, which are of curent research interest and have practical applications, the contributions featured were first presented at the second international conference on this subject. Over 50 papers are included and these are divided under the following headings; Hazard prevention; Management and control; Estimation of risk; Emergency response; Data collection and analysis; Hazardous materials in transit; Water resource modelling and management; Landslides; Earthquakes; Soil and water contamination; Air quality studies; and Case studies
