2 Natural Hazard Triggered Technological Accidents Technological accidents with hazardous-materials releases (at fixed installations, offshore platforms or pipelines) caused by natural hazards (e.g. earthquakes, flood, landslides) 2

4 Characteristics of Natechs Accidents Simultaneous releases from single or multiple sources over wide areas Unavailability of lifelines needed for accident mitigation (water, power) Competition for scarce resources (simultaneous response efforts to cope with the natural and technological events) Hazmat releases hampering emergency response (endangering rescue personnel and disaster victims) Non-functional or inappropriate standard civil protection measures 4 4

5 Obstacles to Natech Risk Reduction Lack of recognition that industry is vulnerable to the impacts of natural hazards. Lack of guidance on how to identify Natech hazards and assess the associated risk. Lack of information due to incomplete knowledge of dynamics of Natech accidents and hence lack of scenarios. Questions about adequacy of design basis: Design codes and standards aim at preservation of life safety, not prevention of loss of containment. Uncertainty as to which level of damage or failure is to be expected above the design-basis loading. 5

6 Priority work areas Implement and enforce regulations for Natech risk reduction Develop methods, tools and guidance for Natech risk management Develop dedicated Natech emergency management plans Develop Natech risk maps Raise awareness and improve risk communication Train stakeholders on Natech risk reduction 6

7 JRC Activities Identification of vulnerable equipment, scenarios and consequences Site surveys for Natech damage assessment (e.g. Japan, China) Statistical analysis of accident data Lessons learned and recommendations Natech risk assessment trainings (e.g. Natech Workshops) Natech database: enatech Natech risk assessment and mapping framework: RAPID-N 7

22 Conclusions Natural hazards can affect industry with possibly major consequences on man, the environment, the economy and the supply chain A framework for Natech risk reduction exists but further research needed to better understand, e.g.: Why Natech accidents occur? (enatech) Which are Natech-prone areas? (RAPID-N) Does the design basis for installations in these areas need to be expanded to cover Natechs (à climate change)? What additional measures (prevention/mitigation) are needed and how should they be evaluated? What are the implications for prevention and preparedness planning? 22
