Multi-Hazard Risk Indexing of Coastal Critical Infrastructure
Implementing Partner: Build Change
Project name:Multi-Hazard Risk Indexing of Coastal Critical Infrastructure in Thailand
This project investigates the impact of multiple hazards—such as floods, cyclones, tsunamis, and coastal erosion—on critical coastal infrastructure along Thailand’s eastern and western seaboards.
By assessing the risks and vulnerabilities faced by both existing and future infrastructure, the study aims to strengthen protective measures and resilience strategies.
The research directly supports improved risk management and sustainable development in Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor, a key hub for economic growth and investment.
