Short summary
This study evaluates flood and landslide risks in Greater Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, to support multi-hazard disaster risk reduction. Using a proven decision-making framework, we analyze environmental and social risk factors. An innovative validation method combines past disaster records and field surveys to enhance reliability. The findings highlight high-risk areas and offer insights to enhance urban resilience. This approach is suitable for other data-poor regions facing similar challenges.

This study introduces a generalized mathematical framework to quantify physical damage to assets from concurrent and consecutive hazards over time. Applied to a Puerto Rico case study (Hurricane Maria and the 2019–2020 earthquakes), it shows that ignoring residual damage significantly underestimates total impacts caused by consecutive events. By incorporating amplification effects and recovery dynamics, the framework improves multi-hazard damage assessments for researchers and decision-makers.

This paper critically reviews disaster recovery literature from a multi-risk perspective. Identified key challenges encompass the lack of approaches integrating physical reconstruction and socio-economic recovery, the neglect of multi-risk interactions, the limited exploration of recovery from a pre-disaster planning perspective, and the low consideration of disaster recovery as a non-linear process in which communities need change over time.

Short summary
The exact power of models often remains hidden, especially when neutrality is claimed. Our review of 61 scientific articles shows that in the scientific literature little attention is given to the power of water models to influence development processes and outcomes. However, there is a lot to learn from those who are openly reflexive. Based on lessons from the review, we call for power-sensitive modelling, which means that people are critical about how models are made and with what effects.

We analyse the meteo-hydrological features of the 27 and 28 August 2023 event that occurred in Genoa. Rainfall observations were made using rain gauge networks based on either official networks or citizen science networks. The merged analysis stresses the spatial variability in the precipitation, which cannot be captured by the current spatial density of authoritative stations. Results show that at minimal distances the variations in cumulated rainfall over a sub-hourly duration are significant.

Short summary
Despite transdisciplinary approaches being increasingly explored to study droughts and their impacts, their depth and breadth are yet to be fully exploited. By integrating insights from different research fields, we present five key dimensions to deepen and broaden the knowledge co-creation process for drought impact studies. Emphasizing social dynamics and power imbalances, we support hydrologists in developing more integrated, power-sensitive, inclusive, situated, and reflexive studies.
