Natural hazard triggered technological accidents involving the releases of hazardous materials (hazmat) are known as Natechs. These types of complex events were studied for the first time at the end of the 1970s, and in recent years have gained importance due to their increasing trend. This paper presents an overview of the advances in Natech research right up to 2018. The paper shows how Natech research was first focused on earthquakes as the main triggering event, and later shifted to hydrometeorological hazards, multi-hazard studies and cross cutting issues. The paper identifies current challenges and research gaps in both the theoretical understanding and the practical implementation and streamlining of Natech risk reduction in chemical accident regulations, and proposes a way forward for future research. Some of the main findings include the importance that interdisciplinary approaches have gained in the Natech context and the need for analyzing Natech accidents' long-term effects. Overall, increased contributions have supported Natech risk assessment and management development, but efforts are needed to enhance risk treatment, risk reduction, and risk communication strategies, without neglecting Natech education and awareness raising. © 2019 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

1. Introduction Natural hazard triggered technological accidents involving the release of hazardous materials are known as Natechs. Natechs are considered as high-consequence and low probability events, falling outside traditional risk assessment and management practices [1•]. Natech examples include: • The 1994 Milford Haven thunderstorm in the United Kingdom which caused the release and ignition of flammable vapors by a lightning strike. This generated a powerful explosion and subsequent fires that lasted ⁎ Corresponding author. E-mail address: [email protected] (A.M. Cruz).

2.5 days. As a consequence, 10% of the United Kingdom's refining capacity was lost during the refinery's downtime (4.5 months) [2••]. • The 2005 hurricanes Katrina and Rita in the United States (US) caused numerous hazmat releases and oil and gas spills in the Gulf of Mexico. In one case, damage to a large storage tank at a refinery in Chalmette contaminated over 1800 homes causing long-term health-related problems, and huge economic losses in the oil and gas industries [3]. • The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in China triggered the release of ammonia and sulfuric acid which caused environmental pollution and necessitated the evacuation of 6000 residents [4]. • The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami impacted industrial parks in Iwate, Miyagi, Ibaraki, and Chiba prefectures causing hazmat releases, fires and explosions. For instance, in Chiba prefecture, the Cosmo

oil refinery fires and explosions completely damaged 17 liquefied petroleum gas tanks, generated five fireballs, and caused damage to nearby property. Furthermore, the Natech accident required the evacuation of over 1000 residents living near the refinery [5•].

c. multi-hazards and cross cutting issues. Furthermore, for each group we discuss the contributions to the various stages of the Natech risk management process. Table 1 shows the classification used.

2.1. Geological hazards

The consequences of these and other Natech accidents have highlighted the vulnerability of modern societies to these growing complex disasters. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the frequency and severity of Natech accidents is increasing [6–10] and therefore, the concern to better understand and manage these types of events has likewise increased. Advances in Natech research and lessons learned from past earthquakes, tropical cyclones, tsunami, and floods have led to the introduction of building codes, land use controls, and so on in some countries and regions (e.g., Japan, California, European Union) that specifically address Natech hazards. Furthermore, international efforts to promote Natech risk management and raise awareness are being made. Some examples include the Natech addendum of the OECD Guiding Principles for Chemical Accident Prevention, Preparedness and Response [11,12]; the United Nations Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 that highlights the need to enhance preparedness measures for technological accidents including Natechs [13]; and the Natech sub-working group at the Science and Technology Advisory Group (STAG) under the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR). Nevertheless, as we will show in this paper, continued efforts will be needed to reduce potential damage and losses due to increased exposure of industries and communities located in areas subject to natural hazards, environmental changes due to rapid urbanization and a changing climate. Therefore, having a clear overview of how Natech research has been and is currently addressed becomes essential. A few studies have provided overviews of Natech research. Cruz et al. (2004) [6] reported on the status of Natech risk management up to 2003. In 2007, Young et al. [14] published a review of the adverse effects on the environment and on human health of hazmat releases triggered by natural disasters. Steinberg et al. (2008) [15] prepared a state of the art on Natech risk assessment and management in Europe and the U.S. In 2016, Da Silva Nascimento and Alencar [16] carried out a systematic literature review concerning Natech accidents, and distribution and frequency of publications in the period 2000–2015. In the current paper, we present an overview of Natech research trends dating back to the 1970s up to March 2018. We then discuss the research trends by different hazards (e.g., geohazards). Then, the paper presents the current challenges and research gaps, and concluding remarks.

Earthquakes, volcano eruptions, tsunamis, landslides, and other related hazards may pose significant threats to buildings and structures at industrial facilities. The impact of these hazards on a structure will depend on the characteristics of the hazard (e.g., for earthquakes the magnitude, the depth and distance from the epicenter, the geology and topography, the local soil conditions and the duration, etc.) and the vulnerability of elements at risk [18]. The adoption of updated building codes, such as the performance-based Building Standard of Japan [19] and the 2016 California Building Code [20], can help reduce vulnerability and prevent or reduce loss of life, building and infrastructure damage, and prevent or reduce the likelihood of chemical accidents. The following paragraphs summarize research concerning Natechs caused by geological hazards. Earthquake triggered Natechs have been studied since the end of the 1970s following several earthquakes in California. Some of the most important include the 1971 San Fernando [21], 1983 Coalinga [21], 1989 Loma Prieta [22], and 1994 Northridge [21] earthquakes. Several papers were published concerning the 1999 Kocaeli earthquake in Turkey [23–25] which for the first time caused numerous Natech events with offsite impacts. These accidents led to increased interest due to the need to better understand the vulnerability of industry to earthquakes and to extract lessons learned. For instance, the accident analysis and the return of experiences of the Izmit [26,27] and Wenchuan [4] earthquakes, as well as the offshore Chile Bio-Bio earthquake [28], and the Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami [29–32] have helped to enrich the understanding of Natech accidental dynamics, and support Natech risk assessment developments. Previous analyses have also enabled the estimation of hazmat release probabilities to improve seismic risk assessment and management strategies [33]. Furthermore, several studies have contributed to structural and process equipment damage assessment [21,34], the identification of vulnerable process equipment and potential failures [35–37], and the estimation of damage probabilities and severity of earthquake-induced Natech events [38•,39]. New quantitative Natech risk assessment methodologies were being studied since the early 2000s. In 2007, Antonioni et al. [40••] proposed a methodology for the quantitative risk assessment of major accidents triggered by seismic events. Cruz and Okada (2008) [41] proposed a qualitative methodology for the preliminary assessment of Natech risk in urban areas, and Busini et al. [42] proposed a semi-quantitative risk assessment methodology to prioritize Natech risk scenarios. There are several important contributions to emergency planning and response. Lindell and Perry (1996) [43] evaluated gaps in emergency planning for earthquake related Natechs. Steinberg et al. (2004) [44] investigated the possible impacts for seismic related hazmat releases and community preparedness in urban areas. Mori et al. [45] studied the fitness-for-duty management programs for workers engaged in stabilizing and decommissioning work at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant following the accident caused by the Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami. In addition, other studies have considered the relationship between technical factors, social and organizational elements in order to improve response capacity of natural disasters in complex scenarios [46]. Other studies have contributed to improving recovery and restoration activities and community resilience [47,48]. Studies such as Steinberg et al. [44], and Yu et al. [49,50] have investigated household preparedness, behavioral actions and risk perception concerning Natechs. Other geological hazards have received less attention. Volcanic eruptions for example have been addressed predominantly from a quantitative risk assessment standpoint. Milazzo et al. (2013) [51], investigated the impact of volcanic ash fallout on process equipment, while Ancione et al. (2015) [52] and Milazzo et al. (2016) [53] studied lava flow thermalradiation impacts.

a major cause of Natechs. This has led to the development of quantitative methodologies [74•], the estimation of damage probabilities [75], frequencies of expected scenarios [76,77], and the evaluation of improved protection systems from direct lightning strikes [78]. Furthermore, domino effects due to lightning strikes have also been studied [79]. The occurrence of past flood-triggered Natechs has motivated the identification of expected process equipment damage models. Firstly, Cozzani et al. [80] constructed event trees to support quantitative risk assessment. Secondly, semi-quantitative approaches that combine bow-tie analysis and checklists to identify critical equipment and to reduce industrial facility vulnerability to flooding have been proposed [81,82]. In this regard, contributions include the development of damage models for atmospheric storage tanks [83] and horizontal cylindrical vessels [84], and the proposal of fragility models for these types of tanks [85]. Building on these contributions Antonioni et al. [86••] proposed a quantitative risk assessment methodology for Natech scenarios triggered by floods. In recent years, fragility functions and Bayesian networks have been developed to assess the vulnerability of industrial facilities to flooding [87•,88]. Lastly, the “spatialization” of possible flood impacts has been proposed to support Natech risk assessment [89]. Risk reduction of Natechs induced by floods has focused on enhancing prevention strategies [90,91], improving the reporting mechanisms [92], and developing qualitative damage scales [93]. In addition, researchers have also proposed land use planning strategies that consider flood impacts and organizational issues in urban areas [94,95]. Finally, despite the high impact of adverse climate conditions on industrial facilities and pipelines [96], research concerning the effect of extreme temperatures on industrial facilities and the potential to result in Natech accidents has received less attention, although its importance has been highlighted [2••]. Contributions include the risk assessment of gas pipelines and oil reservoirs operating at low temperatures in Russia [97].

Tsunamis, on the other hand, were scarcely addressed until fairly recently. Contributions addressing industrial facility vulnerability to tsunamis and potential damages include the work developed by Cruz et al. (2011) and Basco and Salzano (2017) [54,55]. Following the Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami in 2011, the Japanese research community has been studying and preparing for a larger earthquake and tsunami along the Nankai trough which could affect coastal areas in Osaka Bay. For this purpose, studies focusing on tsunami wave load impacts on storage tanks [56•], numerical simulations of tsunami propagation and dispersion of oil spills, including oil spills from storage tanks due to sloshing [57], and computational modeling for large-scale oil spill fires on water in tsunamis [58•] have been carried out. Proposed reduction measures include the development of “flexible pipes” as a mitigation barrier to counteract tsunami risk on storage tanks located in coastal areas [59], and crude oil dispersant and absorbent materials to reduce fire propagation. The interest of this topic in Japan has been demonstrated with the launch of the documentary film “Mega Crisis” [60] in 2015. Landslides have not been widely addressed as a main cause of Natechs. The few contributions concern risk assessment. For instance, AlvaradoFranco et al. (2017) have proposed a quantitative model for assessing pipeline failure probability due to landslides [61]. In summary, the contributions to Natech risk assessment and management, particularly for earthquake-related Natechs are prevalent, and this is in part due to the fact that earthquakes have triggered multiple and simultaneous severe Natech accidents raising awareness for the need to better manage these types of risks. There is much less research related to tsunami, volcano and landslide triggered accidents. Further research concerning Natech risk communication and risk perception issues are also needed. 2.2. Hydrometeorological hazards The increasing occurrence of severe hydrometeorological disasters accompanied by Natech accidents in recent years has resulted in a growing number of studies addressing these types of events. In the US, hydrometeorological related Natechs reported to the National Response Center (NRC) database between 1990 and 2008 accounted for more than 80% of all Natechs [9]. In this paper for convenience we have divided the hydrometeorological hazard related research contributions by: storms, tropical cyclones, tornados, and wind; flooding; lightning; and extreme temperatures. Research on Natech weather-related events has been on the rise for the past 25 years. On the one hand, the accident analysis and the return of experiences have received notable attention with studies focusing on Hurricanes Katrina and Rita [62–64]. Santella et al. [63] identified Natech accidents at fixed facilities, and Cruz and Krausmann [64] investigated oil and gas releases from the offshore industry and their relationship to hurricane wind speed and storm surge heights. An assessment of the prevention and preparedness for these accidents was also discussed [62,63], as well as the emergency response to the large number of releases [3,64]. Research concerning risk assessment has concentrated on understanding possible release scenarios by determining the potential impact of hydrometeorological hazards on process equipment and infrastructure [65]. Contributions to the field of risk treatment and risk reduction are limited. Cruz and Krausmann (2013) [66••] have highlighted the need to strengthen preparedness and prevention strategies to cope with climate change in the oil and gas sectors. Finally, weather-related Natech risk communication and risk perception have started to contemplate longterm effects on communities' wellness and health [67,68], public trust in governments [69], and risk perception issues of neighboring communities to industrial facilities [70,71]. This has led to growing interest in socioeconomic and long-term health effects of Natechs. Lightning as a relevant cause of industrial accidents has received increasing attention since 2013 due to a higher frequency of occurrence potentially related to the escalation of hydrometeorological events. The research focus has been centered on analyzing the accidental dynamics of previous events [8,72,73]. Despite the use of lightning rods for protection of storage tanks containing flammable substances, lightning accidents are

2.3. Multi-hazard and cross-cutting issues Multi-hazard and crosscutting research contributions have been made from different perspectives. Starting from accident analysis and return of experiences, several studies have analyzed previous accidental events with the aim of identifying frequencies, trends, and impacts on industry, communities, the environment and other infrastructure [6,9,10,14,98– 102]. The ample contributions on accident analysis and return of experiences have supported the estimation of conditional probabilities of Natech events in the United states for different natural hazards [103]. Furthermore, these types of analysis have provided insight concerning structural vulnerability of industrial facilities by identifying critical process equipment, frequency of occurrence of a variety of Natech scenarios [104–107], and the modeling of domino effects [1•,108]. Furthermore, several studies have looked at stakeholder participation for effective Natech risk management strategies and Natech resilience [109,110••,111]. In terms of risk reduction, efforts have been made to consider risk assessment results for land-use planning [112,113]; and to enhance preparedness strategies to improve communities' and businesses' response capacities [114–116]. Some new research topics have emerged in recent years. Di Franco and Salvatori (2015) have proposed the use of remote sensing tools for rapid damage assessment following Natech accidents [117]. Research efforts following the Fukushima nuclear accident have looked at the long-term effects of the accident on people's behavior and health. Studies have addressed psychological issues, stress responses, and mental and behavioral consequences of the nuclear accident [118–122]. Furthermore, aspects such as occupational health of employees, and mental and physical health of evacuees have been studied [123,124]. The lessons from Fukushima will be important to better prepare for any future Natechs with long-term environmental and health related effects. The above studies have pointed out the need for resilient industries and communities to Natech hazards. Reniers et al. [110••] proposed five core areas that need to be improved for building resilient industrial parks. 3

Research contributions to Natech risk communication and risk perception have been fewer in number. Emphasis has been directed to households' perception of risk, and public trust in governments. However, approaches emphasizing community participation in risk management decisions are required. In this sense, the challenge for Natech risk communication is to go beyond the mere practice of sharing information regarding potential chemical accident hazards, to creating communication channels among all stakeholders in order to develop community-based approaches which encourage risk-informed decision making. This then should be supported by research addressing contextual factors that consider the public's perception of risk, and the kind of information they aspire to receive [126]. The above gaps and challenges, makes it urgent to address the issue of Natech resilient industries and communities.

These include i) education regarding Natechs, ii) Natech consequence assessment, iii) the need to solve problems related to uncertainty and lack of historical data for estimating the likelihood and frequency of Natech events, iv) the introduction of inherently safer design techniques for facilities located in natural hazard-prone areas, and v) the implementation of land-use controls and planning to reduce exposure. Altogether, these represent fundamental challenges that should be overcome in order to create resilient industries for natural hazards.

3. Natech research gaps and challenges Natech research has experienced a shift from geological to hydrometeorological hazard related research. This is potentially related to climate change concerns, but also in response to the increased number of hydrometeorological disasters and related Natech accidents. This increased awareness has resulted in a rising number of publications focused on Natechs related to floods, hurricanes, and other weather-related hazards. This tendency will likely continue due to more frequent severe storms, tropical cyclones and heavy precipitation events caused by a changing climate [125]. Improved the understanding of the potential for extreme temperatures to cause Natechs directly, or indirectly through other factors is needed as well as to understand the implications in industrial facilities' safety. Moreover, this paper has shown that there is growing interest in recent years in multi-hazard and cross-cutting issues. These trends are represented in Fig. 1, in which the evolution of Natech research shows how the approaches have been changing with time. These results have been adapted from Suarez-Paba et al. (2019). Earthquake-related Natech research has continued, but there is now increasing interest in multi-hazard and crosscutting issues and hydrometeorological hazards related Natech research as well. The results from Fig. 1. are only considering publications until March 2018, thus the final output might be slightly different, favoring hydrometeorological approaches. Research regarding Natech risk treatment and risk reduction has centered around the improvement of structural prevention and mitigation measures within the industrial facility's fence-line. Although, there is heightened interest by the international community, and some countries have introduced regulations that specifically require the analysis of Natechs hazards, a study by OECD in 2017, showed that overall, there is low implementation of Natech specific risk reduction measures in member states. Some studies have provided insights regarding the problems that may arise in responding to Natech accidents both onsite and offsite. However, new proactive approaches with a broader scope will support better Natech risk management. This idea has also been discussed by other researchers who assure that in order to make improvements in Natech safety for the chemical industry “we need to think outside the box” [110••]. Therefore, by conducting research that brings in knowledge and methods from different disciplines, new points of view and approaches will support a clearer understanding of Natechs and improved ways to manage the challenges they entail.

4. Conclusions This paper has shown that Natech research has evolved from a focus on earthquake related accidents to hydrometeorological hazards particularly in the last decade. Perhaps climate change has influenced this trend due to increased hydrometeorological related Natechs, and this trend is likely to continue as climate change may result in a higher number of Natech events. Identified gaps highlight the need to conduct further studies concerning landslides and extreme temperatures, especially referring to their potential impacts on oil and gas transportation pipelines. In addition, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and lighting also require further developments. Multi-hazard and crosscutting issues have also received increasing attention, especially in the last ten years. The ever-growing need to deal with Natech complexity has brought up to the scene the importance of addressing Natechs from interdisciplinary perspectives and has also welcomed the implementation of innovative ideas to find alternative solutions for reducing Natech risk. Moreover, the increasing severity of Natech consequences has stimulated the interest of researchers in analyzing the long-term effects of these types of accidents and their implications for people's health and wellbeing. Therefore, contributions on these topics will be fundamental for enhancing the understanding of Natechs' impacts. Overall, the study found that research contributions in this field have resulted in improved Natech assessment and management. Future efforts are required for strengthening risk treatment and risk reduction, better understanding of risk perception, and promoting risk communication strategies. This could also be supported by building on Natech education in order to contribute to a general awareness of Natech risk. A better understanding of Natech risks would contribute not only to promoting resilient industries but also more resilient societies.
