Inhoud:

The frequency of """"high-impact, low-probability"""" (HILP) events in the last decade - such as Hurricane Katrina, and the T hoku earthquake and tsunami - signals the emergence of a new """"normal."""" This report examines the effects of the volcanic ash cloud that spread across Europe in April 2010 and draws lessons for other HILP events.
