Natural hazards driven by extreme weather events are expected to continue to pose a significant risk to citizens, property and the environment. Based on a series of national and international interviews with the Fire and Rescue Service (FRS), this paper presents an analysis of present practices within the FRS and FRS willingness to employ a novel methodology for assessing multiple natural hazards.Natural hazards driven by extreme weather events are expected to continue to pose a significant risk to citizens, property and the environment.

Hydrogen related accidents often lead to a jet fire scenario due to the lower ignition energies and higher pressures associated with hydrogen and its storage. Fire barriers can be used for protection against jet fires. Barriers are capable of limiting flame extension by diverting the flames in a safer manner, eliminating the impingement risk on the unexposed side and thereby reducing required safe

In an era of global change, understanding available water resources is increasingly important. In Sweden, this challenge has intensified due to climate change driven pressures and rising water demand, yet suitable tools for assessing water storage remain limited. This study presents a novel approach for evaluating surface water storage using a modified Australian Water Resources Assessment Landsca

Underhåll bidrar väsentligt till byggnaders klimatpåverkan. För att beräkningar av klimatpåverkan över hela livscykeln ska bli träffsäkra, bör antaganden som används i beräkningarna baseras på verifierade fakta.Detta projekt har behandlat frågor kopplade till underhåll av tegelfasader, med fokus på omfogningsintervall för tegelskalmurar från 1960-talet och senare. Projektet har även berört frågan

The evolving security landscape has renewed attention to integrate military and civil defence and preparedness into spatial planning. For decades, risk management in spatial planning has focused on natural hazards and accidents, typically disregarding antagonistic threats. The current geopolitical tensions demand a broader perspective that includes actor-driven threats to infrastructure and societ

A key consideration in the design of a new industrial site is the spatial arrangement of units with respect to required safety distances. Safety distance requirements are intended to reduce the risk of hazardous events escalating from their origin to other units as well as to limit the damage to particularly vulnerable targets (e.g., control rooms), and are typically based on industrial standards

This article analyses how experiences of state-sanctioned violence in Turkey are shaped, conveyed and renegotiated in Alevi life stories. Drawing on personal accounts, it exami-nes how individual experiences of violence are interwoven with collective narratives of persecution, marginalisation and resistance. The study focuses in particular on two in-terviewees, Berfin and Ahmet, whose stories illu

This progress report presents the results from the first phase of the research project Not my responsibility (NoMR), running from December 2022 to September 2024. The project investigates how Swedish communities can strengthen preparedness and resilience to wildfires by developing a shared understanding of hazard, exposure, vulnerability, and responsibility across stakeholders. During this period,

Lake Titicaca in South America is highly sensitive to climatic variability, making it particularly vulnerable to climate change and raising concerns about long-term drying. Fluctuations in lake-water-levels (LWLs) can trigger cascading impacts across the downstream Titicaca-Desaguadero-Poopó-Salares (TDPS). This study evaluates the dependence of Lake Titicaca’s water level on air temperature and p
