Disaster recovery as participation: lessons from the Shaky Isles
Vallance, Suzanne - In: Natural Hazards 75 (2015) 2, pp. 1287-1301
Despite broad scholarly consensus that public participation in disaster recovery is highly desirable, in practice, appropriate and effective forms of community involvement are difficult to achieve. Drawing on both non-disaster participatory planning theory and disaster recovery literature, this...

Risk assessment of a tsunamigenic rockslide at Åknes
Eidsvig, U.; Medina-Cetina, Z.; Kveldsvik, V.; Glimsdal, S. - In: Natural Hazards 56 (2011) 2, pp. 529-545
This paper introduces the application of a simple and practical method for estimating the risk associated with a potential tsunamigenic rockslide, by assessing quantitatively hazard, vulnerability, and elements at risk. The proposed method introduces empirical relations between the risk...
