Short summary
This paper proposes a model for assessing the risk posed by natural hazards to infrastructures, with a focus on the indirect losses and loss of stability of the population relying on the infrastructure. The proposed model enables the comparison between scenarios in municipal risk and vulnerability analyses, considering the natural hazards and different aspects of vulnerability, including the physical vulnerability of the infrastructure itself and the societal dependency on the infrastructure.
