| Summary: | This handbook outlines an approach to
proactively manage the risks of geohazards on roads, road
users, and the people living near and affected by road. This
handbook is structured to support road geohazard risk
management sequentially and systematically: Part I,
Framework for Road Geohazard Risk Management, helps users
understand the framework for road geohazard risk management,
introduces some basic concepts, and provides context to the
overall handbook; Part II, Institutional Capacity and
Coordination, covers the institutional arrangements that are
necessary for the successful implementation of geohazard
management; Part III, Systems Planning, covers the systems
planning aspects, pertaining to the identification,
assessment, and evaluation of risks, along with raising
awareness of disasters; Part IV, Engineering and Design,
deals with the engineered solutions to address geohazard
risks, giving examples of different solutions to particular
risk types; Part V, Operations and Maintenance, focuses on
the operations and maintenance aspects of geohazard
management whether the maintenance of previously engineered
solutions or the nonengineered solutions available to
mitigate the impacts of geohazard risks; Part VI,
Contingency Planning, addresses contingency programming
issues, such as postdisaster response and recovery, and the
important issue of funding arrangements; and Part VII,
References and Resource Materials, contains the reference
list and additional online resources. Additionally, this
handbook includes standard templates for terms of reference
(ToRs) that can be adapted for technical assistance projects
for road geohazard risk management (see Appendix A) and an
operation manual (OM) for the practitioners involved with
road geohazard risk management (see Appendix B). |
