Abstract: | The objective of the Guide for the safety of people and property is to promote specific knowledge about different effects and aspects of natural and anthropic hazards, not considered in regulations. Earthquakes and secondary effects of earthquakes, erosion, landslides ( especially deep sliding surfaces), rock falls, abrasion, suffusion, radon and electromagnetic pollution by GSM operators, TV and Internet providers, influence of nearby antennas, electric power lines, icing and disruption especially for the energy and information supply lines (electricity, gas and oil pipelines, satellite transmissions, etc.) are among the hazards which treaten the human lives and the safety of property .. Some of the hazards are considered in regulations (for example earthquakes, winds' loads, electromagnetic and radiation intensity etc.), but most are not. The focus of this study is to promote the concept of a guide for the safety of people and their properties, from the effects of hazards which are not considered in regulations. |
