Systems Analytic Models for Fuzzy Risk Estimation

In this contribution we analyse the difficulties of risk estimation on natural disasters in the real world and present a fuzzy mathematical model, based on the principle of information diffusion, to estimate fuzzy risk of natural disasters. Moreover, we illustrate an example, in earthquake engineering, to demonstrate how to use the model Finally, we show that the model is effective for assessing natural disaster risk.
