GFDRR Road Geohazard Risk Management Handbook

https://www.gfdrr.org/en/road-geohazard-handbook

This handbook outlines an approach to proactively manage the risks of geohazards on roads, road users, and the people living near and affected by roads through:

  1. Improving understanding of the risks of geohazards throughout the road infrastructure cycle;
  2. Promoting risk avoidance on the alignment of new roads or the realignment of existing roads to manage construction costs, maintenance costs, and losses from geohazard-induced traffic disruptions;
  3. Protecting road users through preparedness, including measures for early warning, precautionary road closures, and access to emergency services and evacuation routes; and
  4. Contributing to the speedy recovery and reconstruction of roads after geohazard events and to the mitigation of future geohazard events.
