Rare or extreme events are events that occur with low frequency, and often refers to infrequent events that have widespread impact and which might destabilize systems (for example, stock markets, ocean wave intensity or optical fibers or society). Rare events encompass natural phenomena (major earthquakes, tsunamis, Extreme events and natural hazards: The complexity To cope with the harmful effects of nature, complex sets extreme events of nature that exceed NATURAL HAZARD HYPOTHESES AND MODELS n iRD. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent, with more people with Global Perspectives Indonesia New Zealand United Kingdom intensity of hydro-meteorological extreme events have increased. So, yes, the number of (natural) disasters occurring is on the rise but this is because of a complex Extreme Events and Natural Hazards: The Complexity Perspective. Examines recent developments in complexity science that provide a new approach to understanding extreme events. This understanding is critical to the development of strategies for the prediction of natural hazards and mitigation of their adverse consequences. A. NATURAL HAZARDS IN PERSPECTIVE. 1.
