Social Vulnerability Index for the state of Oregon (2020 ACS data)

Creator:: Reilley, Caitlyn and Crandall, Mindy
Abstract:: Senate Bill 762, Oregon’s 2021 omnibus wildfire bill, directed Oregon State University to conduct a wildfire risk assessment including mapping socially vulnerable communities to help inform decisions and allocate resources related to state wildfire prevention, response, and recovery. This dataset was curated to identify socially vulnerable communities and largely follows...

Fire regime parameters and their relationships with topography in the east side of the Southern Oregon Cascade Range

Creator:: Foster, John S.
Abstract:: The fire regimes of a 9,000 hectare study area on the east side of the Southern Oregon Cascades are described. Fire regime parameters included are frequency, extent, and predictability of fire return interval. Severity of two fires is mapped by type of evidence. Changes in fire regime due to fire...

Toward the development of screening tests for heart attacks and back injuries in firefighters : a study to investigate back-specific fitness, perceived fitness and aerobic capacity in a firefighter population

Creator:: Moore, Karlie J.
Abstract:: Firefighting is a very hazardous profession. Firefighters experience an injury rate that is three times higher than other physically demanding professions and the death rate in the fire service is also much higher compared to typical. Throughout the literature, data suggest the physical nature of firefighting contributes to the high...

Wildfire risk management : strategic interaction and spatial interdependence

Creator:: Busby, Gwenlyn M.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, I examine how the spatial configuration of forest ownership influences the risk-mitigating behavior of public and private forestland owners over time. I determine whether or not the predicted equilibrium outcomes are socially optimal and, if not, whether the introduction of regulation, liability, or private insurance would lead...

A Holistic Model: A risk assessment model for internal conflict and case study of the Democratic Republic of Congo

Creator:: Gharib, Camron I.
Abstract:: Internal conflicts are detrimental to a country’s development for a number of reasons. Therefore, it is beneficial to identify the factors that lead to internal conflict. The three perspectives used to understand why internal conflicts occur are the systemic lens, the individualist perspective, and an interpretation that emphasizes the role...

Autonomous Decision Making Facing Uncertainty, Risk, and Complexity

Creator:: Short, Ada-Rhodes
Abstract:: The creation of autonomous decision makers to handle potentially hazardous or logistically complicated tasks is desirable for the purpose of reducing human labor and exposure to risk, and for increasing the general performance of autonomous systems in a wide variety of environments. However, traditional autonomous decision makers perform poorly when...

Probabilistic Multi-hazard Earthquake-Tsunami Structural Risk Assessment Framework

Creator:: Alam, Mohammad Shafiqual
Abstract:: Catastrophic earthquake and tsunami events that resulted in significant loss of life and property over the past two decades have raised the global awareness regarding the need to understand the response of communities and their built environment to multi-hazard extreme events. In recognition to this impending threat to the coastal...

Integrative risk analysis of vector-borne disease

Creator:: Orme Zavaleta, Jennifer
Abstract:: In this dissertation I explore the application of two novel modeling techniques for improving risk analysis of vector-borne disease and discuss their potential use in integrating environmental risk assessment that guides environmental and public health decisions. Techniques for analyzing risk have been considered inadequate due to a lack of understanding...

Organizational factors in the reliability assessment of offshore systems

Creator:: Biondi, Esteban L.
Abstract:: The reliability of ocean systems is dependent on organizational factors. It has been shown that low probability / high consequence system failures are overwhelmingly induced by organizational factors. However, no methodology is yet widely accepted for the evaluation of this phenomenon or its accurate quantification. A qualitative complementary approach is...

Risk-based design for multidisciplinary complex systems

Creator:: Farhangmehr, Farzaneh
Abstract:: The ultimate goal of large-scale design organizations are mainly to reduce costs and improve reliability and performance of systems while assessing how much risk (cost, schedule, scope) they can take and still remain competitive. To achieve this goal they need to develop tools to reach the most preferred design product...
