Abstract
The chapter is proposing a model that describes the economic effects and characteristics that should be taken into account to predict the monetary impact of natural disasters, focusing in particular on the economic interdependencies of industries and lifelines. Different losses are considered using real economic data provided by surveys on natural disasters such as Northridge earthquake, Des Moines flood, etc. The Economic Resilience Index provided in the PEOPLES framework is adopted and applied to the specific case study of the San Francisco Bay Area using the data provided by HAZUS for the physical damage. Sensitivity analysis is performed for each economic sector considered in the analysis.
