The overall goal of the Contingency Planning Process will be to develop a

comprehensive geo‐hazard risk reduction “Contingency Planning” strategy that is

linked to an easy implementation framework. The framework should be able to

address the current needs and issues, which would be implementable at all levels

from national, city and agency levels and cover all the phases of disaster risk

management from preparedness to response.

The project on Contingency planning with regard to earthquake hazard is comprised

of two main Tasks:

• Task I: Determine status of contingency planning and design of interim

contingency plan

• Task II: Turn interim contingency plans into final versions (using maps for

selected

urban

areas

that

highlight

earthquake‐vulnerable

school/hospital/emergency response and control buildings etc.)
