Natural hazards have a potentially large impact on economic growth, but measuring their economic impact is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. The central objective of this paper is to demonstrate a model--the natural disasters vulnerability evaluation (NDVE) model--that can be used to...

This paper proposes the national disasters contingency plan for Singapore based on the application of the minimum food and water storage quota for natural disasters (Ð-Quota). Consequently, the main objective of the Ð-Quota is to calculate the approximate amount of food and water storage...

This paper evaluates the crucial role of unmanned aerial vehicles - UAV's - (or Drone) in the case of natural disasters response and relief humanitarian aid. The main objective of this paper is to evaluate how unmanned aerial vehicles - UAV's - (or Drone) in the present and near future can play...

In this paper, we attempt to analyse and compare the magnitudes of destruction caused by natural disasters versus socio-economic-political disasters around the world. To do so, we deploy a multi-disciplinary approach that encompasses history, politics, sociology, and economics (Ruiz Estrada,...

This paper evaluates the crucial role of unmanned aerial vehicles – UAV's – (or Drones) in the case of natural disasters response and humanitarian relief aid. The primary objective of this paper is to evaluate how unmanned aerial vehicles – UAV's – (or Drones) in the present and near...

This paper evaluates the levels of risk of suffering a natural disaster or socio-economic-political disaster worldwide. This research considers evaluating 234 countries distributed in five continents are Africa, America, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. The main objective of this research paper is to...

This paper attempts to compare the magnitudes of destruction between natural disasters and socio-economic-political disasters anywhere and anytime. Therefore, our research is using a multi-disciplinary approach that includes history, politics, sociology, and economics simultaneously (Ruiz...

The NDVE-Model is utilized in our study is based on multidimensional mathematical modeling and GPS mapping to evaluate under different levels of vulnerability. In fact, this study applies three basic indicators of climate change issues– (i) the natural disasters' vulnerability propensity rate...
