Definition
Cascading impacts are those in which the impact of a physical event or the development of an initial technological or human failure generates a sequence of events in human subsystems that results in physical, social or economic disruption.
Thus, an initial impact can trigger other phenomena that lead to consequences with significant magnitudes.
