Hazard assessment should be grounded in the understanding of fundamental geodynamic processes (physics-based). Considered relevant experience includes: 1) probabilistic assessment or other types of numerical modeling of hazards; 2) development of monitoring techniques, particularly in near-real time, real time or early warning; and 3) other initiatives developed to mitigate the effects of these disasters and to increase the resilience of the population to their impacts.
