Abstract
Risk and Crisis Management--A Case StudyTrack: Ski/Avalanche
Author(s): Rudolf Sailer
St. Anton is a small mountain village with aproximately 2,500 inhabitants, situated 100 km west of Innsbruck at the boarder between Vorarlberg and Tyrol (Austria). During the winter season the number of people living in St. Anton increases up to 12,000. The overnight stays per year have increased from about 32,000 in 1947 to about one million in 2000. The intense touristic development necessitate the investigation of a so-called “Integrated Risk and Crisis Management Plan. The connection of practical needs related to natural hazards with most modern prognosis and simulation technologies is managed by geographic information systems. The structure and organization of the Risk and Crisis Management Plan will be shown in the paper.
