State of the art in Risk Management Technology - Implementation and Testing

The highest quality in natural risk management in alpine areas requires the establishment and maintenance of a "state-of-the-art" on an internationally comparable level, also with respect to the European Standards and the market. A wide range of standards for risk assessment, hazard mapping, technical protection, monitoring and warning as well as good practice methods for risk governance and catastrophe management were developped within ETZ-projects of the Alpine Space program. Numerous additional standards and norms were ellaborated on a national level. The project aims at the compilation of standards (methods and procedures at the state-of-the-art), the assessment for practicality, the transnational share and distribution among partner countries, the testing in the framework of case studies and finally the implementation and establishment as general recommandation all as normative regulation.
