| Popis: | Tropical cyclones are one of the most catastrophic natural disasters, regularly affecting coastal areas across the world. The intensity and extent of impacts by these disasters have remained very high throughout history. An appropriate mapping approach is essential for producing detailed risk assessments to plan for, and reduce the future impacts of cyclones on people, property and the environment. This study developed and evaluated a spatial multi-criteria approach for mapping the risk levels of areas to tropical cyclone impacts using remote sensing, field data and spatial analysis at a local scale covering |
