Abstract
The frequency, and therefore the risk, of accidents fulfilling the criteria of disasters have increased significantly during the last decades, parallel to and generated by the development of communities. The reasons for this are obvious:
-
increasing population density
-
increased settlement of high-risk areas
-
increased technological risks
