Epistemic uncertainties and natural hazard risk assessment - Part 1: A review of different natural hazard areas
Original language description
This paper discusses how epistemic uncertainties are currently considered in the most widely occurring natural hazard areas. We find that in current probabilistic approaches to the problem, uncertainties are all too often treated as if, at some fundamental level, they are aleatory in nature. However, we suggest that the use of simple aleatory distributional models, common in current practice, will underestimate the potential variability in assessing hazards, consequences, and risks. A commonality across all approaches is that every analysis is necessarily conditional on the assumptions made about the nature of the sources of epistemic uncertainty.
