Multiple hazard events (whether extreme or not) can occur concurrently or in a series (cascading) to produce compound hazards with extreme impacts on societal, natural, and built systems that have far greater negative consequences than the independent hazards. The overarching goal of this project is to develop and apply a multivariate framework for the detection and attribution of compound and cascading extremes. The method will be used to identify hotspots and explore which infrastructure and census track level neighborhoods are most vulnerable.
