Trends in Security Information
The HSD Trendmonitor is designed to provide access to relevant content on various subjects in the safety and security domain, to identify relevant developments and to connect knowledge and organisations. The safety and security domain encompasses a vast number of subjects. Four relevant taxonomies (type of threat or opportunity, victim, source of threat and domain of application) have been constructed in order to visualize all of these subjects. The taxonomies and related category descriptions have been carefully composed according to other taxonomies, European and international standards and our own expertise.
In order to identify safety and security related trends, relevant reports and HSD news articles are continuously scanned, analysed and classified by hand according to the four taxonomies. This results in a wide array of observations, which we call ‘Trend Snippets’. Multiple Trend Snippets combined can provide insights into safety and security trends. The size of the circles shows the relative weight of the topic, the filters can be used to further select the most relevant content for you. If you have an addition, question or remark, drop us a line at info@securitydelta.nl.

Weather event
Weather events are extreme weather phenomena that have a (relatively) rare chance of occurrence. Examples include storms, tornados, hurricanes, lightning (strikes), ice storms, blizzards, heat waves, heavy rainfall, -snowfall and –winds but also extreme droughts and heat waves. These weather events cause harsh conditions for individuals, objects (buildings, infrastructure) and various areas (grazing ground, water supply, crops). The consequences and impact of each weather event are depended on severity, timing, and location. The impact can be direct (for instance drowning in high water) and indirect (wet grounds leading to more malaria mosquitos).
Multiple preparations can be taken against (extreme) weather events, depending on what type of event it entails. For example, in order to prepare for an incoming hurricane, people are usually evacuated from a particular location. Another generic example is the structural preparation of buildings, which can be built in such a way to withstand heavy rainfall, -snowfall, –winds.
