This panel is the outcome of breakout
3 of the workshop and represents the
participants contribution to a bestpractices guide to risk-based land-use
planning.
You are invited to add your comments
and best-practices to this poster, and
join an on-line discussion on building
disaster resilience through risk-based
land-use decision making. You can join
