Due to the special characteristics of CPI, the involved multi-hazard coupling scenarios are broad. The related studies have tried to capture different aspects of the hazardous characteristics of multi-hazard coupling effects. Based on the regional disaster system theory proposed by Shi and the extracted knowledge, this review provides a general framework of multi-hazard coupling effects analysis to better understand the essence of the multi-hazard coupling effects. Fig. . General framework of multi-hazard coupling effects analysis The regional disaster system is a typical complex network system, which is widely used to reveal the characteristics of multi-hazards, disaster chains, disaster compounds, and the influence of climate change . As shown in Fig. , the formation of a multi-hazard coupling scenario is regarded as the combination of the danger of hazard-formative factors, the sensitivity of the hazard-formative environment, and the vulnerability of hazard-affected objects.
