SCENARIO ANALYSIS NaTech: OIL SPILLS FOLLOWING THE IMPACT OF EXTREME HYDROLOGICAL PHENOMENA ON STORAGE TANKS
In an increasingly industrialized world, the convergence between natural and technological disasters, known as “NaTech”, poses significant challenges to emergency management and public safety. These events, which involve the interaction between natural phenomena such as earthquakes, floods or hurricanes, and technological infrastructure, represent a growing threat worldwide.

The NaTech risks can manifest in a variety of ways, from leaking chemicals in flooded areas to the collapse of critical infrastructure such as power plants or industrial facilities during seismic events. These situations can not only cause significant material damage, but also endanger people’s lives and have far-reaching environmental impacts.
