We are working on geospatial risk analysis based on satellite data, particularly floods and drought. As a metric we use, for example, probabilistic metrics of a 1/100 year disaster. Does anyone deal with other metrics of geospatial disaster risk assessment?
Hi Andrey,
You may want to look at the report by Klein Tank et al. (2009) titled "Guidelines on
Analysis of extremes in a changing climate in support of informed decisions for adaptation", published by the World Meteorological Organization. They list a wide range of factors to study extremes in connection with natural hazards, it could give you some ideas.
Cheers,
Augusto
Concerning floods and applying a probabilistic approach, you may look at Vogel et al. 2012 (http://leo.ugr.es/pgm2012/proceedings/eproceedings/vogel_flood.pdf). We are also currently applying this kind of approach aiming at integrating debris flow and flood models (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/263651860_On_the_Formalization_of_Expert_Knowledge_A_Disaster_Management_Case_Study).

Building community resilience is the key and all efforts towards building the metrics and indicators are towards that. There are many studies including the ISDR post-2015 scenario, which you should see. Meanwhile, you may like to see the following work

One more Reference that could provide further insight is given in the link below. Though a bit old ( 2006) it talks about the community resilience and sustainable livelihood indicators.

Andrey,
not sure if this treat is still active. If so, I suggest you have a look at the so-called Muli-Hazard Risk Assessment guide book I co-authored a few years ago (http://tinyurl.com/pnddb48). It runs you through the entire process of geoinformation-based risk assessment with a lot of detail and many illustrations and examples.
Hope it''s useful, Norman
