According to the Hurricane Hazard Mitigation Handbook for Public Facilities , winds, rains, and storm surges as three natural hazards associated with hurricanes. Qin et al. investigated this complex coupling scenario in CPI, and the hurricane was regarded as a natural-hazards coupling scenario consisting of high winds, flooding, and rainfall. Unlike the earthquake-tsunami coupling scenarios, process equipment may suffer the negative effects of flood, rainfall, and wind synchronously. The failure modes of the atmospheric storage tanks developed in the previous studies for single natural hazards associated with hurricanes were summarized for multi-hazard failure assessment. However, the dynamic response of the target equipment under coupled loads is not analyzed in their study. The proposed method may not be able to cope with the unforeseen failure mode caused by the complex hurricane-rainfall-flood coupling scenario. Without clear insight into the physics of the damage, it is difficult to combine it when the multi-hazard coupling effect is considered.
