At present, the intensification of global climate and environmental change has led to frequent occurrence of natural hazards. Various types of natural hazards always overlap and interact, or occur in a chain reaction, with a wide range of impacts and a long period of time, resulting in serious disaster losses. Typically, major earthquakes and geological hazards, extreme meteorological hazards, large-scale floods and droughts, marine disasters, and forest and grassland fires, as well as their compound and chained hazards are among the key factors affecting human life safety and world economic development. To better our understanding of disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief, it is thus pivotal to facilitate advanced perception, intelligent early warning, accurate prevention, and efficient rescue of natural hazards.

This Research Topic aims to collect both Original Research and Review articles addressing the state-of-the-art advances of theories and methodologies in all types of natural hazards. Studies underlining the compound and chained relationship between different hazards are in particular welcomed. Potential themes include, but are not limited to:

• Mechanisms of formation, evolution, and disaster process of multiple natural hazards as well as their compound and chained natural hazards
• Model and scenario development regarding whole process control, chain breaking of key nodes, and precise prevention of major natural hazard chains
• Methods and applications on detection, identification, database establishment, and spatiotemporal evolution law analysis of natural hazard sources
• Technologies on intelligent early warning and refined risk assessment of compound and chained natural hazards.
• Rescue equipment and investigation of post-disaster community reconstruction

Keywords: natural hazard, compound and chained relationship, formation and evolution mechanism, risk assessment, early warning, model building, chain breaking, database establishment, rescue equipment, post-disaster reconstruction


Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
