The consequences can be catastrophic. To develop strategies to cope with geohazrads induced by extreme rainstorms, a good understanding of the generation and propagation of hazards during a storm is essential. HKUST is in the process of developing a “Digital Hong Kong” multi-hazard simulation platform to evaluate possible hazardous processes in critical rainstorms in the entire Hong Kong. The simulation framework is ...
