| Summary: | This paper presents a multisectoral risk
assessment, analyzing natural risks faced by key drivers of
socioeconomic development in coastal Vietnam. The analysis
quantifies the exposure of assets and economic activity to
the following natural hazards: riverine flooding, coastal
flooding, typhoon winds, coastal erosion, and saline
intrusion. These hazards are analyzed according to their
impact on agricultural production, aquaculture, human
settlements, industrial zones, tourism, health care
facilities, schools, and the electricity transmission
network. Overall, the results show the complex nature of
natural risk in Vietnam, with significant exposure of key
economic sectors, public services and assets. The estimates
suggest that exposure varies greatly between hazards,
sectors, and provinces. This paper provides detailed
technical descriptions of the methodologies, data sources,
and analytical assumptions employed to obtain the estimates,
and acts as a technical background paper to Resilient
Shores: Vietnam's Coastal Development between
Opportunity and Disaster Risk (Rentschler et al., 2020). |
