Mixed-method integration and advances in fuzzy cognitive maps for computational policy simulations for natural hazard mitigation

► We demonstrate an approach of computational policy simulations for mitigating natural hazards. ► Advancements of FCM is shown through use of Self-organising Maps for condensation and aggregation. ► What-if scenario simulations are run using Auto-Associative Neural Networks (AANN). ► Analyse the relationships among stakeholder groups to show how they shape collective responses. ► Highlight the potential of the approach for participatory policy development.
