The scope of this Framework for Action encompasses disasters caused by hazards of national origin and related environmental and technological hazards and risks.

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.

The Conference provided a unique opportunity to promote a strategic and systematic approach to reducing vulnerabilities and risks to hazards.

We are faced with new risks, including environmental hazards, stemming from the drastic reduction of nuclear and chemical arms.

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

Many of the world apos s 30 million mineworkers are exposed to a range of health hazards and occupational risks.

(a) Comprehensive national assessments of risks from natural hazards, those assessments being taken into account in development plans

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.

The poor are disproportionately threatened by the environmental hazards and health risks posed by pollution, inadequate housing, poor sanitation, lack of water and shortage of other basic services.

Engineering control measures that are needed to minimize exposure to, and risks associated with the hazards of, the substance or mixture should be included in this section.

The hazards of pools for spent nuclear fuel have been known for many years, but little action has been taken to alleviate the risks.

(f) In close collaboration with existing networks and platforms, cooperate to support globally consistent data collection and forecasting on natural hazards, vulnerabilities and risks and disaster impacts at all scales.

The Task Force covers natural hazards ranging from earthquakes and volcanic hazards to tropical cyclones and floods.

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.

Environmental health hazards

20. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has been engaged since 1960 in the assessment and mitigation of risks arising from natural hazards in developing countries and small islands.

Disaster prevention activities in each of the country apos s 67 municipalities were coordinated through the National Civil Protection System, which provided maps to pinpoint hazards, risks, vulnerability and resources.

(c) Interrelationships between technological and natural hazards

Natural hazards, direct causes and underlying causes

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

Speaking of professional hazards...

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

(l) Establish and strengthen the capacity to record, analyze, summarize, disseminate, and exchange statistical information and data on hazards mapping, disaster risks, impacts, and losses support the development of common methodologies for risk assessment and monitoring.

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

(i) Work on health hazards

(ii) Work on environmental hazards

E. Vulnerability to global hazards

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,

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

Therefore, we should strive for a free exchange of information on the occurrence of hazards and their effects, know how systems for forecasting and prevention, and modern technologies for safe industrial production aimed at minimizing technological risks.

(b) New criteria for aspiration hazards

D. Protective measures against global hazards

That s one of the hazards.

Risks and challenges

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

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.
