Due to climate change, recent disaster trends show cascading effects with high uncertainty and interconnection. Natech (natural hazard triggering technological accidents) is a typical cascading disaster and affects wild areas, including nearby industrial facilities, local communities, and the ecology system. Managing Natech risks in the complex environment and society needs integrated risk management system involving intensive risk assessment, adaptable risk mapping, and effective risk communication with proactive multistakeholder participation. The research aims to improve and promote local disaster risk governance based on the lessons from previous Natech and cascading disasters to enhance local disaster resilience and reduce cascading disasters.
