Zusammenfassung |
We analytically estimate the risk function of natural hazards (earthquakes,
rockfalls, forestfires, landslides) by means of a non-extensive approach
which is based on implementing the Tsallis entropy for the estimation of the
probability density function (PDF) and introducing a phenomenological
exponential expression for the damage function. The result leads to a power
law expression as a special case and the b-value is given as a function of
the non-extensive parameter q. A discussion of risk function dependence on
the parameters of hazard PDF and damage function for various hazards is
given. |
