Abstract

This paper seeks to analyze the impact of chemical industrial disaster events on hazard, risk, vulnerability & capacity (HRVC) assessment at the municipal level in SIIDCUL Industrial Area, Haridwar. We focus on the effect of such events on indicators such as the hazard and risk matrix along with vulnerability analysis for different levels. We control for a set of geographical and industrial chemical characteristics of location which may make more prone for occurrence of these events. We also control for a set of prerequisite institutional, fiscal and demographic characteristics to control for assortment. Using an adjusted difference-in-difference regression with data for 2000 and 2005, results show a significant decrease of vulnerability indicators for industrial events, and especially for industrial fire, explosion, and chemical leakage.
