Abstract

The critical importance of accurate mapping and assessment of natural hazards and risks is discussed, which hazards and risks relate not only to seismic events but also to floods and avalanches, and their consequences. Accurate mapping is crucial in the early warning process and there is evidence of considerable discrepancies in previous mapping efforts. These discrepancies can have major economic effects on, for example, investment potential and insurance factors. Thus, hazards must be more accurately defined and risk assessments must be based on multi-risk calculation methods.
