- Summary:
- Natural hazards pose an ongoing threat to Department of the Air Force (DAF) installations and the enabling infrastructure that supports DAF missions. But understanding the full risk to installations from these threats is a complex undertaking. Not only are there cascading relationships among hazards—whereby one hazard might increase the likelihood of another occurring—but infrastructure systems themselves are also interconnected, often to regional suppliers outside the installations. Disentangling these connections to understand installation risk from natural hazards has been a resource-intensive endeavor. The authors of this report describe an approach to improving the DAF's ability to assess installation energy and water system vulnerability to the combined effects of natural hazards.
