CONTINGENCY PLANNING ORIENTED HAZARD MAPS NEW IDEAS AND LESSONS LEARNED WITHIN THE MONITOR II PROJECT - SLOVENIAN EXAMPLE

As project partners of the SEE project MONITOR II two Slovenian institutions were given an opportunity to assemble some good foreign examples and contribute their own knowledge and experience in the field of contingency planning and hazard mapping. MONITOR II project aims at improvement of information provision for disaster management by developing a common methodology of hazard and risk mapping and elaboration of contingency plan. Slovenian project partners found their role within MONITOR II project in improvement of some aspects of crisis management practice in their own country. This consequently brings new ideas and results, which can enrich common MONITOR II achievements. Since the biggest deficiencies in Slovenian crisis management (covering flood hazards) were recognised in contingency planning on the municipal level the focus of Slovenian project partners lays there. A new approach by using intervention maps and an information tool is considered as a support for decision making.
