Overview
The ETI Natural Hazards Project is an initiative funded by
the Energy Technologies Institute and delivered by EDF Energy, the Met Office
and Mott Macdonald. It has produced a set of technical volumes summarising the state of the art on natural hazard
characterisation for a variety of natural hazards, including:
- Extreme high and low air temperature
- Extreme wind
- Extreme rainfall
- River flooding
- Coastal flooding
- Seismic, volcanic and geological hazards
- Hail
- Lightning
- Space weather
- Marine biological fouling
- Hazard combinations
Technical volumes for the natural hazards listed above are
supported by five case studies from around the UK to illustrate how the state
of the art methodology can be applied at specific sites. The outputs of the
project are focused at end-users from the energy industry, but could also be of
interest to infrastructure owners, operators, asset managers, developers,
investors, regulators and insurers across a wide range of industries including
transport, the built environment, emergency planning and climate resilience.
The webinar event will introduce the motivation
behind the project, what has been delivered and how end-users can benefit from
the outputs.
