There were five presentation sessions on the following hazards geo hazard risks forest and bush fires floods drought, desertification and land degradation and entomological risks.

Disaster risks, hazards, and their impacts pose a threat, but appropriate response to these can and should lead to actions to reduce risks and vulnerabilities in the future.

Such an approach should include assistance in mapping hazards and risks and the formulation and or revision of risk reduction measures.

Disaster risks, hazards, and their impacts pose a threat, but they also generate action to reduce the severity of future events.

Ms. Skåre (Norway) said that her delegation wished to reiterate its concerns about the hazards, risks and deficiencies of the Headquarters complex.

The risks and potential for disasters associated with natural hazards are largely shaped by prevailing levels of vulnerability and measures taken to prevent, mitigate and prepare for disasters.

E.C. (1997) European Commission DGIII, Environmental Resources Management. Recent assessments of the hazards and risks posed by asbestos and substitute fibres, and recent regulation of fibres worldwide. Oxford.

Aside from price escalation, the Board is concerned that the continued delay in project implementation exposes the building's occupants and visitors to health and safety hazards and risks.

They require each applicant to address safety issues with respect to its launch, including the risks of associated orbital debris, on orbit safety, and re entry hazards.

That document recognized the importance of space based Earth observations, remote sensing, GIS and telecommunications to assess, monitor, model and forecast natural hazards and risks and to enhance early warning systems.

The energy sector is also like other large scale industrial sectors in terms of presenting various workplace safety and accident risks, where fossil resource extraction and processing in particular present some specific hazards.

12. Stresses the need to address risk reduction of and vulnerabilities to all natural hazards including geological and hydrometeorological hazards

1. Reiterates its serious concern at the hazards, risks and deficiencies of the current condition of the United Nations Headquarters Building, which endanger the safety, health and well being of staff, delegations, visitors and tourists

1. Reiterates its serious concern at the hazards, risks and deficiencies of the United Nations Headquarters Building in its current condition, which endanger the safety, health and well being of staff, delegations, visitors and tourists

Recognizing that the development of stronger institutions, mechanisms and capacities, including at the community level, that can systematically build resilience to hazards and disasters is essential to reducing the risks and vulnerability of populations to disasters,

Natural hazards cannot be prevented, but damage caused by hazards can be prevented and avoided by proper preparedness, response and mitigation efforts.

(a) Hazards mapping (natural and man made), including volcanic and seismic hazards earthquakes tsunamis oil spills monitoring flooding vulnerability, assessment and monitoring and disaster management

Reiterates its serious concern about the hazards, risks and deficiencies of the current conditions of the United Nations Headquarters Building, which endanger the safety, health and well being of staff, visitors, tourists and delegations, including high level delegations

(ii) Work on environmental hazards

25. Stresses the need to address risk reduction of and vulnerabilities to all natural hazards, including geological and hydrometeorological hazards, in a comprehensive manner

26. Stresses the need to address risk reduction of and vulnerabilities to all natural hazards, including geological and hydrometeorological hazards, in a comprehensive manner

3. Promote regional and subregional cooperation in environmental protection and natural disaster reduction, and encourage members and associate members to undertake their assessment of risks from natural hazards and to integrate the outcomes of such assessments into their development plans.

A. Early warning and the variable nature of hazards

. Space based technology could help risk assessment concerning natural hazards by providing information to support the following tasks (a) determination of the study area (b) identification of natural hazards in the project area (c) identification of population and structures at risk, and definition of their characteristics (size, location) and factors affecting their susceptibility to specific risks and (d) identification and technical analysis of alternative mitigation measures.

(b) New criteria for aspiration hazards

B. Early warning for hydrometeorlogical hazards

Mmhmm. That's one of the hazards.

1. Takes note with concern of the hazards, risks and deficiencies of the current condition of the United Nations Headquarters complex, and concurs with the Secretary General that a decision on viable solutions must be made to ameliorate those conditions

Provide information on other hazards which do not result in classification but may contribute to the overall hazards of the material, for example, formation of air contaminants during hardening or processing, dust explosion hazards, suffocation, freezing or environmental effects such as hazards to soil dwelling organisms.

The nature and scale of threats inherent in hazards vary.

Disasters associated with natural hazards and vulnerability a development challenge

These are mainly untrained and constitute hazards to unsuspecting citizens.

More needs to be done to consolidate information about the risks posed by technological hazards and to develop synergies between early warning functions and to integrate them into appropriate prevention strategies. 51. The interplay between the effect of hazards and the achievements of national development, and the extent to which one is able to influence the other, is mirrored in the relationship between technical accomplishment and the maintenance of environmental viability.

C. Early warning related to geological hazards

(b) To promote safeguards against potential hazards

You have to expect some occupational hazards.

1.1.2.2.4 Replace the radiation hazards involved and with radiation protection including .

(b) A long term commitment to public awareness, information programmes and other educational activities that contribute to broad public understanding of locally experienced hazards, potential risks and the feasibility of disaster reduction measures is an essential requirement for effective and sustainable early warning systems

Risks and challenges

Moreover the Contracting Parties shall make all efforts to control the hazards originating from accidents involving substances hazardous to water, floods and ice hazards of the Danube River.

Risk reduction, therefore, entails reducing vulnerability to hazards.
