The final section takes an overview of the planning process and makes suggestions for further requirements in the form of comprehensive planning models to reduce hazard losses. This chapter does not review the detailed physical processes of each natural hazard, although mention is made of such phenomena where planning decisions are contingent upon them. An analysis of the traditional technological adjustments and non-structural measures is not within the brief of this work, although their importance to comprehensive planning is stressed.Subject: Disaster researchSubject: Natural disastersSubject: Regional planningSubject: Urban developmentSubject: Urban planning
