701-0565-00L | Fundamentals of Natural Hazards Management | 3 credits | 3G | H. R. Heinimann, L. de Palézieux dit Falconnet, B. Krummenacher | |
Abstract | Risks to life and human assets result when settlement areas and infrastructure overlap regions where natural hazard processes occur. This course utilizes case studies to teach how a future natural hazards-specialist should analyze, assess and manage risks. | ||||
Objective | Concepts will be explained step-by-step through a set of case studies, and applied in lab by the students. The following principal steps are used when coping with natural hazard-risks. At each step, students will learn and apply the following skills: Risk analysis - What can happen? -Characterize the processes and environmental measures that lead to a natural hazard and integrate modeling results of these processes. - Identify threats to human life and assets exposed to natural hazards and estimate possible drawbacks or damages. Risk assessment - What are the acceptable levels of risk? - Apply principles to determine acceptable risks to human life and assets in order to identify locations which should receive added protection. - Explain causes for conflicts between risk perception and risk analysis. Risk management - What steps should be taken to manage risks? - Explain how various hazard mitigation approaches reduce risk. - Describe hazard scenarios as a base for adequate dimensioning of control measures. - Identify the best alternative from a set of thinkable measures based on an evaluation scheme. - Explain the principles of risk-governance. | ||||
