Among these, earthquake-induced tsunamis present a complex challenge as they involve consecutive, interrelated hazards that can greatly increase damage. This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of methodologies for multi-hazard risk analysis of industrial equipment subjected to seismic-related events, with a particular focus on the combined effects of earthquakes and subsequent tsunamis. While seismic vulnerability assessment is a well-established field, tsunami vulnerability, particularly in the context of cascading hazards, remains underexplored and lacks standardized evaluation frameworks. In this paper, the current approaches used to model hazard interactions, assess vulnerability and fragility, and estimate risk under multi-hazard conditions are briefly examined. This review aims to survey existing literature, identify challenges and prospects, and address gaps to more effectively capture the complexities of natural hazard interactions affecting critical industrial infrastructure.
