Regional-scale coastal hazard modelling using a univariate framework for extreme total water levels including sea-level rise
Coastal flooding poses significant threats to coastal communities, typically characterized as low-probability, high-impact events that can be effectively analysed using Extreme Value Theory. This study applies a systematic univariate methodology for assessing the combined influence of coastal flooding-related variables along the Northern Portuguese Coast, namely those contributing towards the Total Water Level (TWL). The robust and dynamic Peaks-…
Flood risk assessment of cultural heritage across countries and spatial scales
Floods are a threatening natural hazard for cultural heritage, making flood risk assessments fundamental to develop effective mitigation strategies. The increased accessibility of global and regional flood hazard maps raises the question of whether these maps can accurately assess the flood risk to assets like cultural heritage, represented as discrete points in georeferenced databases with attributes varying by country. This study aims to invest…
Flood vulnerability assessment of built cultural heritage
Flood risk is a pressing global concern, especially given its intensification by climate change. Likewise, events in the recent past have highlighted the need to implement adequate flood risk mitigation measures in cultural heritage. The effective mitigation of flood-related impacts to cultural heritage requires flood risk assessment to be based on appropriate methods. However, such methods are scarce and often limited in their ability to evaluat…
A new fire damage index to assess the vulnerability of immovable cultural heritage
The recurrent occurrence of devastating fires in cultural heritage constructions highlights the need for more studies focusing on the assessment of their fire vulnerability to support the development of adequate mitigation measures. To address the limitations of existing methods, this article introduces the Potential Fire Damage Index (PFDI) as a new approach. The PFDI is an indicator-based method that integrates twenty-one Fire Vulnerability Ind…
Recent contributions addressing the assessment and protection of historic timber structures—VSI Foreword
Risk Assessment and Vulnerability Analysis of a Coastal Concrete Heritage Structure
This research focuses on the risk management of reinforced concrete heritage constructions in coastal environments, with an emphasis on preserving their cultural significance. It addresses a critical gap in existing risk-related research, since this type of heritage site is often overlooked in heritage conservation research. The proposed methodology offers a flexible framework that links natural and human-induced hazards with their impacts on key…
Risk protection for cultural heritage and historic centres
Component-based flood vulnerability modelling for cultural heritage buildings
Understanding the Impacts of the October 2017 Portugal Wildfires on Cultural Heritage
In a changing world where the frequency of natural hazards is increasing, the consequences of disasters on cultural heritage assets are still not well understood. This can be attributed to shortcomings in existing risk management practices and to the fact that disaster consequences in the cultural sector are seldom recorded in a structured manner. On 15 October 2017, an extreme wildfire event took place in Portugal, causing significant human and …
