Site risk assessments are typically based on potential events associated with accidents at the site itself. However, there is increasing attention being given to the impact on operations from external events, including: extreme weather and other natural disasters (floods, earthquakes, etc.); sabotage (physical and cyber) from hostile entities; and hazardous events from neighboring facilities (fire, explosions, toxic releases etc.). Topics to be covered in this call for papers include, but are not limited to: prediction, modeling, layers of protection and mitigation of consequences associated with such events, as well as ways to engage the broader community in planning for their occurrence.
