Risk-based land-use guide : safe use of land based on hazard risk assessment / L.C. Struik ... [et al.].: M183-2/7772E-PDF
"This guide explains three key actions intended to assist municipal staff determine whether land use proposals will be safe for their intended use. It explains: how to integrate hazard risk management into existing land-use management instruments, how to determine if the hazard risk of a land-use proposal is acceptable, and how to consider reducing the risk to tolerable and acceptable levels. Recommendations in this guide, like other land-use guides, are founded on a community's understanding of its risk from hazards. It describes goals of achieving acceptable risk. It does not prescribe how to achieve those goals. It provides concepts of measuring risk from a hazard, and how to use that measure to determine the most cost-effective way to achieve acceptable risk. The guide can be used for all hazard situations, natural or man-made. As such its recommended practices can be applied to situations where a hazard’s frequency and intensity could be altered by climate change. In those situations, the risk analysis is conducted using that hazard’s projected event frequency and intensity"--Overview, p. 2.
