TextLanguage: ENG Publication details: 01/10/85Description: 19p; 5 figsReport number: PREPRINT-9Subject: The scope of this contribution has been constrained to considering types of meteorological events, hazards, which can lead to disaster (major human suffering) when imposed on a disaster-prone environment. Disaster mitigation measures attempt to reduce the intensity of hazard transmission through the landscape and/or subsequent impact on the ecumene. The underlying theory of disaster mitigation is that society can act so as to minimize the sum of impact costs plus costs of mitigation measures. A conventional classification of disaster mitigation measures is presented including land use (environmental) planning. Components of land use planning include land use controls (e.g. zoning), project impact assessment, public land management planning and performance standards to which proposed land uses must conform .550.

The scope of this contribution has been constrained to considering types of meteorological events, hazards, which can lead to disaster (major human suffering) when imposed on a disaster-prone environment.
