Dealing with risks from natural hazards: Recommendation for determining appropriate safety measures
The new PLANAT publication “Appropriate Safety” serves as a guide for updating legislation or developing strategies for dealing with natural hazards and adapting to climate change. Unlike its predecessor, “Safety Levels for Natural Hazards” (2013), the new publication is based on the 2018 update of the strategy for dealing with risks from natural hazards. This requires a case-by-case determination of appropriate safety based on a comparable approach and broadens the focus to include animals and the environment.
