Natech Events in the Russian Federation
In addition to technical, social, and economic factors, natural hazards can also play an essential role in magnifying or triggering technological disasters. 88 percent of all natural-technological disasters or Natechs happened in Russia in 1992-2008 were caused by natural processes related to various hydrometeorological phenomena. Twelve different types of Natech events were identified and classified. The most frequent of them are accidents at power and heat supply systems, following by sudden collapses of structures, and car crashes. Global warming and climate change may increase the severity and likelihood of Natechs caused by hydrometeorological events.
