Editorial statement
This manuscript presents a uniquely comprehensive multi-hazard dataset for Tenerife spanning a long period, systematically compiling events such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, landslides, and floods. Such long-term, harmonized multi-hazard datasets remain rare but are essential for advancing research on hazard interactions, cascading risks, and long-term risk dynamics.
Short summary
Tenerife faces multiple natural hazards, including volcanic eruptions, floods, and landslides. Our study compiles over 500 years of historical data to identify patterns and vulnerabilities, providing key insights for improving natural risk prevention and management. This dataset helps decision-makers understand hazard risks and develop better mitigation strategies. Our approach serves as a model for other regions to enhance long-term natural risk resilience.
