Abstract: Disasters can lead to fatalities, property destruction, and environmental damage. While media and government agencies report these immediate impacts of disasters, uncertainty can exist regarding these direct consequences. Disasters also contribute to cascading impacts which can be even more uncertain and difficult to assess. This seminar explored existing research that can help to develop a more holistic understanding of the cascading impacts of disasters. 

Chair: Maria Ikonomova
