Problems Connected with Determination of Size of Maximum Expected Disaster in Selected Site
Original language description
In connection with the human population increase and with cumulating number of interconnected complex systems and technologies the human system vulnerability to disasters is increasing and this causes large losses, damages and injuries to public assets at great disaster origin. Therefore, the determination of extreme disaster sizes is of interest to experts who plan, built and operate technological facilities, or ensure the civil protection. Determination of maximum expected disaster size is currently carried out on the basis of mathematical methods as mathematical statistics working with the random uncertainties, and more recently on methods based on the theory of extremes and on further more advanced theories (as the chaos theory, complexity theory and the theory of options) that, in addition to random uncertainties can express a part of knowledge uncertainties, helping to identify the occurrence of extreme disasters that afflict the human community irregularly and rarely. On the basis of results for determination of maximum expected earthquake size calculated by authors for real data file from Europe, the authors show how the determination of maximum expected earthquake size depends on the data file extent, and how it affects the safety of technological facilities.
