Risk of compound typhoon disaster chains: Insights from southeastern China

This study proposed a multi-scale risk assessment framework to analyze compound typhoon disaster chains, using Fujian Province—a high-risk coastal region in southeastern China—as a case study. Compared with previous studies that predominantly focus on single hazard scenarios, this study systematically provides multi-scale risk maps of typhoon disaster chains by comprehensively integrating diverse hazard interactions and geographic contexts.

The findings in the study provide crucial empirical support for integrating compound disaster chains into international disaster risk management frameworks, such as the Sendai Framework and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Future studies should incorporate dynamic scenario modeling under climate change and socioeconomic transitions to enhance global applicability and refine targeted resilience strategies, effectively addressing the growing threats posed by compound disaster chains.
