Past Event - OPERA Online/Hybrid Presentation - Learning from Natech events and the next steps in risk management - Zsuzsanna Gyenes

Speaker:

Zsuzsanna Gyenes

Presentation Synopsis:

Natural hazards, such as floods, earthquakes, and extreme temperatures are still prone to trigger technological accidents. For example, lightning has caused fires in different parts of the world in the past few weeks at oil terminals. These so-called Natech events (natural hazards triggering technological disasters) need further attention to be able to prepare for and prevent future cases from occurring. Operators of hazardous assets need to be aware of the possible tools to manage risks arising from Natechs. This presentation will demonstrate the potential effects of Natech events via past case studies and discussions about risk management.

Presentation and video from this meeting are now available on the OPERA Members area of the website.
