Impact triggering is a research area that focuses on understanding the factors and processes that cause specific events, such as natural disasters or man-made incidents, to have a significant impact on communities, infrastructure, and the environment. This research seeks to identify the triggers or tipping points that can lead to cascading effects and amplify the consequences of these events. By understanding impact triggering, researchers can develop strategies and interventions to mitigate the harmful effects of such events and enhance community resilience.
