Peril such as earthquake, flood,cyclone damage structures differently. If one computes hazard risk score (on a scale of 1-10) for each of them on a grid of say 0.25 km X 0.25 km. How to combine these scores and compares hazard risk of different geolocation quantitatively/ qualitatively ?
Hi Sushil,
Risk is defined as a non-linear function of 3 variables: hazard, vulnerability and exposure, see:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/320911236_Climate_Futures_for_Tasmania_Severe_wind_hazard_and_risk_assessment
Vulnerability, in turn, is a function of the behaviour of a structure subjected to a given hazard. For instance the vulnerability of a building subjected to a given earthquake shake is obviously different from the vulnerability of the same building subjected to a severe flood.
So it is possible to calculate maps of risk for a given hazard and compare with other hazards. See for instance:

Hope it helps,
Augusto
Hope Sir, this article is worth full for you.
