Sources of technological risk are distributed in space:• Chemical installations, power plants, transportation

corridors, airports, etc.Target areas (residential areas, sensitive environments) are

spatially distributed (proximity)

IMPACTS (damage, risk, vulnerability) depend on location AND accident characteristics development in time, emergency response
