Risk Analysis — A Tool for Coastal Hazard Mitigation
Large parts of the coastal hinterlands at the German North Sea coast are endangered from flooding during storm surges. In order to improve hazard mitigation the method of risk analysis is introduced in the strategic planning of coastal defenses. Risk analysis comprises the calculation of the failure probability of different coastal defense structures, especially of sea dikes, and the determination of the consequences in case of flooding. The basic principles are outlined and exemplified in a climate impact assessment studying the effect of rising sea levels and intensifying winds on the risks related to storm surges. To cope with an increase of risk different strategies, like strengthening of existing coastal defense structures and introducing additional coastal defenses, are developed and evaluated with respect to their efficiency in reducing risk.
