An indicator framework for the assessment of the indirect disaster vulnerability of industrial production systems

1. An indicator framework to assess the indirect disaster vulnerability of industrial production systems IDRC 2010 30 May to 3 June 2010, Davos Mirjam Merz , Michael Hiete and Frank Schultmann

3. Impacts of natural disasters on production systems Natural hazard Physical damage to buildings and equipment Disruption of critical infrastructures Primary business interruptions Obstruction of workers Supply chain disruptions Secondary business interruptions Directly affected company Company within a supply chain primary secondary z. B. NATECH direct impacts Indirect impacts

7. Hierarchical vulnerability framework

8. Results – sector specific vulnerability index

9. Results – infrastructure dependency

10. Regionalization of sector specific results Regional industrial vulnerability = industrial vulnerability x exposure Sector Specific Vulnerability Index SSVI Sector Specific Gross Value of Production GVP

11. Results – regional industrial vulnerability Gross value of production (GVP) – Industry Industrial vulnerability against indirect disaster effects Federal State of Baden-Württemberg Level of administrative districts Federal State of Baden-Württemberg Level of administrative districts
