Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fire incidents frequently occur across various sectors worldwide—including industrial sectors and public infrastructures—and often lead to catastrophic consequences, including casualties, economic damages, environmental impacts, etc. Effective risk assessment and management play crucial roles in preventing fire-related accidents and mitigating their consequences.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue on state-of-the-art reviews and advanced methodologies for assessing and managing fire risks across diverse sectors. Our goal is to compile high-quality research that sheds light on both theoretical and practical advancements in fire risk assessment and management.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Advanced methodologies for fire risk assessment and management;
- Organizational and human factors in fire risk management;
- Risk modeling of fire-related accidents in various sectors and environmental settings, including process industries, public sectors, etc.;
- Safety barrier management in relation to fire accidents;
- Consequence modeling of fire accidents;
- Safety economics approaches (e.g., cost–benefit analysis, cost effectiveness analysis, etc.) for fire risk management;
- Risk-based optimization of firefighting strategies;
- Leveraging AI and machine learning techniques for fire risk management;
- Risk-assisted evacuation planning for fire accident scenarios.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
