Integrating flood and earthquake resilience: a framework for assessing urban community resilience against multiple hazards

Floods and earthquakes are the most common natural disasters, causing significant damage and casualties in urban communities. Although academic research has focused on assessing cities' ability to withstand these natural disasters, there is a lack of established frameworks for evaluating resilience against multiple hazards. This research integrates the earthquake and flood resilience indicators to create a comprehensive resilience assessment framework. This study integrated seismic and flood resilience indicators and categorized them into 27 clusters. It also used the DEMATEL (Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) method to determine the significance of clusters and prioritize them. This research identified 13 cause clusters and 14 effect clusters of indicators for seismic and flood resilience. The 'response capacity' cluster has the most impact on seismic and flood resilience, while the 'transportation and accessibility' cluster is the most affected cluster. This article presents a framework for evaluating flood and seismic resilience and makes suggestions for future research.
