Abstract

The integrated management of risks from natural hazards (Bründl 2012, this volume) and the prevention or mitigation of disasters demand a thorough assessment of the prevailing hazards at the very start, as stipulated, e.g. in the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA 2005). The reduction of risks on alluvial fans and debris cones is of particular interest as these land features serve as prime estate for villages and towns in the mountain environment, be it in industrialised or developing countries.
