Abstract: The impact of hurricanes, tornados, severe storms, or more in general extreme winds can damage the equipment of industrial plants, leading to the loss of containment of hazardous material from the damaged structures, which in turn can pollute or evolve to catastrophic scenarios involving fires or explosions. This type of accidents is known as Natech (Natural hazard triggering technological accident).
