【 摘 要 】

This paper presents a multisectoral riskassessment, analyzing natural risks faced by key drivers ofsocioeconomic development in coastal Vietnam. The analysisquantifies the exposure of assets and economic activity tothe following natural hazards: riverine flooding, coastalflooding, typhoon winds, coastal erosion, and salineintrusion. These hazards are analyzed according to theirimpact on agricultural production, aquaculture, humansettlements, industrial zones, tourism, health carefacilities, schools, and the electricity transmissionnetwork. Overall, the results show the complex nature ofnatural risk in Vietnam, with significant exposure of keyeconomic sectors, public services and assets. The estimatessuggest that exposure varies greatly between hazards,sectors, and provinces. This paper provides detailedtechnical descriptions of the methodologies, data sources,and analytical assumptions employed to obtain the estimates,and acts as a technical background paper to ResilientShores: Vietnam's Coastal Development betweenOpportunity and Disaster Risk (Rentschler et al., 2020).
