Our goal is to create a milestone for the field, contextualising cascading in the built environment, the social domains, and applied emergency management.

The special issue "Understanding and mitigating cascading crises in the global interconnected system" aims to听point out the interactions and interconnections orienting the escalation of secondary emergencies through vulnerability paths, instead of focusing only on triggering events. In other words, we want to explore the different aspects related to cascading events as cross-scale accumulation of vulnerability paths waiting to happen, rather than being merely an artefact of low probability, high-impact processes. Although this initiative already started, it may benefit from the integration of more cross- disciplinary perspectives in sectors such as emergency and contingency planning. This includes cross-domain modelling of interdependent systems, decision support systems, economic impact assessments, but also social and political challenges that can influence the management of cascading events.听
