It uses the Precaution Adoption Process Model (PAPM) as a theoretical framework and a multi-state Markov model to represent the process quantitatively. In this study, we extend the method to determine which attributes of the household, house, and/or incentive program are associated with an increased likelihood of transitioning through the stages of the mitigation process using the North Carolina Insurance Underwriting Association (NCIUA) Strengthen Your Roof grant incentive program as a case study. The results suggest that different factors influence different transitions in the mitigation process and to varying degrees. A homeowner’s social network was highly effective in raising awareness of grant incentive programs and encouraging homeowners to decide to select a contractor to do the work. Homeowners’ perceptions of the retrofit’s effectiveness largely fostered homeowner engagement in the application phase and further encouraged homeowners to decide to apply for the grant. Overall, the insights from this study help us understand what motivates homeowners at different points in the decision to retrofit providing guidance in designing future mitigation programs that will maximize outreach, increase engagement, and enhance adoption rates of such retrofits. In addition to the practical implications, this methodology has potential for broader applications across different types of mitigation programs, geographic regions, and hazard types.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"130 ","pages":"Article 105790"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145268247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this short paper, we adopt a legal dogmatic approach, along with a literature review, to better understand legal responsibility for adapting to quick-clay landslides in Norway, which are increasing in occurrence across the country due to climate change. We find that confusion around legal responsibility for adaptation has resulted in the deferring of responsibility and stalling of action. In practice, this has left many landowners at greater risk of disaster. Four key factors contribute to confusion: 1) ambiguity in relevant legislation and policy; 2) limited awareness and legal knowledge among the landowners and municipalities; 3) complexity associated with coordinating the multitude of actors and institutions involved; and 4) lack of capacity to plan for and implement adaptation. We provide interventions that aim to address the contributing factors, in order to facilitate government action on adaptation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"129 ","pages":"Article 105807"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145045436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper a performance-based methodology to assess the mean annual frequency of release from pipelines for the transportation of hydrocarbons subjected to a landslide is proposed. This methodology employs the hazard curves of landslides, and the fragility curves of the pipelines defined in terms of permanent ground deformation.

By comparing empirical survey data from municipalities with and without approved hazard maps, the research aims to understand how these maps influence people’s awareness and attitudes towards natural hazards. The results show that while hazard maps significantly improve risk perception and encourage proactive behaviour, their effect on knowledge about risk relevant tools and measures remains limited. There is a high level of uncertainty and misinformation regarding existing risk mitigation measures, particularly in communities without approved hazard maps. The results show that hazard maps have a significant impact on public risk perception. In communities with approved hazard maps, people perceive a greater need for additional protective measures and have a lower sense of security in case of a natural hazard event. The study also shows that hazard maps increase people’s willingness to become more involved in risk management activities. The study emphasizes the importance of targeted risk communication strategies and suggests that hazard maps should be complemented by ongoing risk communication initiatives and participatory formats to achieve sustainable engagement and increase people’s preparedness. Additionally, the research highlights the potential of hazard maps to raise awareness and encourage active participation but also identifies challenges and the need for comprehensive follow-up activities to ensure long-term impact.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"130 ","pages":"Article 105803"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145048161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Overall, the results reveal substantial negative shocks, with selling prices dropping by 3–4 % and time on the market increasing by 4–5 %<strong>.</strong> The estimation strategy is then assessed against alternative specifications to test its robustness. This sensitivity analysis reveals that the news of the accident had no impact on the assets in the proximity of the nuclear plant that the country had dismissed several years before the accident. The presence on the territory of evacuation points people may turn to in case of a disaster offers the possibility to confirm the hypothesis that the estimated effects are driven by a demand for more safety, rather than by a fear of damage to the assets. When focusing on the assets in the proximity of nuclear plants, the possibility to quickly reach these evacuation points reveals a significant price premium in the months following the news of the accident in Japan. The results from this study can inform policymakers' decisions on how to increase the support for a technology that has often raised safety concerns among the population.

We measure exposure and estimate logistic and spatial regression models that distinguish single-family residential (SFR) from multi-family residential (MFR) parcels while adjusting for assessed value, parcel area, structure age, and building presence. For SFR parcels, exposure rises with distance: out-of-state SFR holdings have 3.66 % SFHA exposure versus 0.69 % for owner-occupied SFR parcels and 2019 inundation rates of 3.15 % versus 0.31 %. Treating proximity continuously among non-occupant SFR parcels yields a per-log-kilometer odds ratio of 1.32 for SFHA exposure (95 % CI: 1.31–1.34); collapsing distances ≤10 km to a local category change this to 1.25 (95 % CI: 1.23–1.28), an approximately 5 % attenuation that leaves inference unchanged. Results are robust across distance encodings, and administrative proximity bands show moderate ordinal alignment with kilometer bins. Distance is not a consistent correlate of regulatory exposure for MFR parcels, and no MFR parcels met the 2019 inundation criterion. Descriptively, unimproved non-occupant holdings record the highest event rates, indicating that development status and distance jointly concentrate exposure.

However, current assessment methods focus on individual bridges, overlooking functional interdependencies within interchanges. Recovery models are often based on damage states and engineering judgment, which may not reflect actual restoration processes. To address these limitations, this study proposes a resilience assessment framework that accounts for both systemic functionality loss and recovery. Firstly, the interchange functionality is divided into safety and traffic functionality, systematically integrated through a hierarchical belief rule-based approach. The safety functionality is evaluated using system fragility, while the traffic functionality accounts for component functional dependencies and the impact of network traffic flow characteristics on performance. Secondly, the duration and functionality status at each stage of the restoration process are determined by integrating the repair time of each performance group with a segmented and hierarchical construction strategy. Subsequently, the Monte Carlo method is employed to compute the resilience index through multiple simulations. Finally, the proposed framework is applied to an example interchange, with results compared to those from traditional, expert-based methods. While traditional approaches show considerable variability, the proposed method produces intermediate results that balance these differences. This framework offers a reliable, system-level approach for assessing interchange seismic resilience and informs decisions on retrofitting, emergency response, and resource allocation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"129 ","pages":"Article 105806"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145045430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To evaluate the program, in 2023, we surveyed households that received an Home Fire Campaign visit during the prior year and a comparison group of adults living in similar at-risk areas. We investigated the association between the intervention and preparedness behaviors using two outcomes: number of smoke alarms in homes and presence of home fire escape plans.
