Multi-hazard
A risk context in which multiple hazards may affect the same place, population, or system, either separately, sequentially, or in combination. Multi-hazard assessment considers how different hazards can interact and compound impacts on people, infrastructure, and ecosystems.

Multi-hazard score
The multi-hazard score was calculated by aggregating hazard classifications for four variables: annual total precipitation, annual mean temperature, seasonal mean surface wind (May–October), and mean sea level anomaly, based on a baseline period of 1993–2012. Each hazard was classified into categorical levels and assigned a numerical score (1–4). The final multi-hazard score was obtained by summing the scores of the four hazards for each grid cell. The classification thresholds for each variable are defined as follows: Annual total precipitation: Category 1 (< 2008.48), Category 2 (2008.49–2215.192), Category 3 (2215.193–2360.356), and Category 4 (> 2360.357). Annual mean temperature: Category 1 (< 27.35), Category 2 (27.36–28.25), Category 3 (28.26–28.75), and Category 4 (> 28.76). Seasonal mean surface wind (May–October): Category 1 (< 4.726), Category 2 (4.727–4.928), Category 3 (4.929–5.279), and Category 4 (> 5.28). Sea level anomaly: Category 1 (< 0.839), Category 2 (0.840–0.944), Category 3 (0.945–1.063), and Category 4 (> 1.064).

Number of drought events in the analysed period (SMA-1) - Existing climate
Number of Drought events as defined by the SMA-1 indicator (Standardised Moisture Anomaly cumulated on a 1-month window) a consecutive series of days below -1 in present climate conditions.
The existing climate refers to the entire historical period of the last 40 years (1979 - 2016) the methodology employed for the computation is exhaustively explained in the Background paper.
There are reference periods for the existing climate and for the future scenarios the average duration is computed over such periods in a statistical sense (for future years from 2060 to 2100 are considered). The definition of the indicator is a series of consecutive days where the used indicator is below -1. Read More
