Abstract
The multihazard study area is located along the North Bulgarian Black Sea coast and is threatened by earthquakes, landslides and tsunamis, which occasionally act simultaneously. Four main factors are considered in our use of multi-risk assessment: natural hazards, exposure, vulnerability and coping capacity. The general algorithm of the methodology used for the multi-risk assessment comprises several consecutive operations. Several multi-risk maps have been produced covering the coastal zone of the North East Bulgarian Black Sea coast. The region has been separated into three sub regions (1, 2 and 3) and mapped for multi-risk. The risk profiles for each zone (sub region 1, 2 and 3) have also been calculated.
