Abstract
Losses from natural hazards are, in principle, avoidable i.e. through
enforcement of total bans on occupying hazardous areas. However, this
does not come without cost; for example loss of revenue, restrictions
on individual choice and loss of livelihood. Evaluating this trade-off is in
essence what decision-makers, whether they are insurers, government
departments, property developers etc, have to be able to achieve.
