TODO - Earthquakes, large or even moderate, are often followed by secondary
phenomena, such as landslides, tsunamis, fires and technological
disasters, leading to cascading effects that may, in turn, cause severe
repercussions. Before, during and after the occurrence of these events,
risk communication, currently evolved to codified legislation, is a
crucial factor. Policy selection in the present study is approached by
the application of the risk game tree and its formation. The events
studied here in view of policy making have occurred both in the
historical and the instrumental era, to account for different level of
exposure and anthropogenic hazards, in Greece (1894 Atlanti, 1953
Kefallinia series, 2003 and 2015 Lefkas), Italy (1976 Friuli), Japan
(2011 Tohoku) and Slovenia (1917 Brezice). In all case studies the whole
disaster management cycle is examined, i.e. mitigation, preparedness,
response and recovery. Disaggregation of earthquake-related direct and
cascading effects, as well as risk communication are taken into account
and ethical challenges are posed both to scientists and policy makers.
