Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The implications of recent catastrophic disasters, including the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident, reach well beyond the immediate, direct environmental and human health risks. In a complex coupled system, disruptions from natural disasters and man-made accidents can quickly propagate through a complex chain of networks to cause unpredictable failures in other economic or social networks and other parts of the world. Recent disasters occurred in such systems, revealed the inadequacy of classical risk management approach. This paper calls for the need for a new resilience-based design and management paradigm, learned from ecological system analogs, capable of coping with the low-probability/high-consequence disruptions and of responding effectively by the safe-fail approach.
