Exploring the impact of compound flood risk and extreme events

Event description

Catastrophic events often are not driven by one process. Extreme coastal floods can coinside with strong winds, or damage from extreme rainfall can be amplified when following a wildfire. However, typical catastrophe models rarely look at the probability and impact of multi-peril compound events.
In this CIWEM-accredited webinar, Fathom will explore:

• What are compound events?
• To what extent are events like flooding, drought and wind connected?
• What drives compound events?
• How model vendors can work together to provide combined views of risk?

At the end of this three-part training series, you will be asked to complete a short questionnaire to test your understanding on the subject. Upon successful completion you will be sent a CPD-accredited certificate for personal, academic or professional records.

This certification is the third part of Fathom’s 3-part accredited CPD webinar series, hosted with CIWEM.
