Earthquakes in Taiwan have caused significant economic losses. The researchers develop a model to assess seismic economic losses using the records of economic losses caused by historical earthquakes.

This seismic risk profile of Taiwan, produced by the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Foundation summarizes key metrics of seismic risk, allowing stakeholders in risk management to get an overview of the risk in the country.

This study adopted a collaborative approach, involving industry, government, and academia, using Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to enhance ecosystem services.

This study estimated a resident preference model using the CE method, used demographic data and prevention attitudes to measure resident preference heterogeneity, and estimated the welfare effects of community-based disaster management (CBDM).

This study established a quantitative flood resilience index to assess the resilience of specific locations to flooding. The researchers then used a 3Di hydrodynamic model to simulate time-variant inundation conditions under an extreme event in Taiwan.

The 2021/2022 edition of the Interconnected Disaster Risks report analyses 10 disasters from around the world which were selected for their notoriety and representation of a larger global issue that has changed or will change lives across the world.

This paper asks to what extent learning has occurred with regard to COVID-19. That is, of past experience with pandemics, whether countries learned from the pandemic experience of others, or from their own experience with other types of emergencies.

The goal of this handbook is to provide background infromation for personnel responding to a disasters during which they may interact with government or citizen responders from China, Japan, South Korea, or Taiwan.
