Exploring reasons why the risks of natural hazards seem to be ignored
by H. Asbjørn Aaheim, CICERO
Researchers give different explanations to why the risks of natural hazards seem to be ignored by
individuals, and management strategies are often deemed inappropriate. This presentation combines
empirical evidence from various disciplines and theoretical insights in order to identify critical

account for wind effects and atmospheric specification along the whole section from the source to the
different arrays. Sound pressure level maps are evaluated for infrasound propagation towards the
different arrays of the network.
We show how the comparison between seismic and infrasonic signals may be crucial in order/media/norsem/norsem_giulia.pdf

Bayesian networks were used in order to facilitate problem definition and in search for
efficient measures, including diagnoses of causes and effects and uncertainties measures on identified
indicators. The case as one of four European cases gave input to design of guidelines for the use of Bayesian
networks as a participatory tool for water resources management (The FP5 EU research project MERIT
