Project

Hazard and risk assessment for the canton of Lucerne

What can be done to improve the canton of Lucerne’s civil protection system? The canton’s High Command answered this question with the help of the KATAPLAN guideline issued by the Swiss Federal Office for Civil Protection (FOCP).

Working on behalf of the canton of Lucerne during the project’s first phase (2019), we defined the relevant hazards and assessed the risks in terms of civil protection measures, and drafted the various documents that would provide a basis for planning. During the project’s second phase (2020), we identified those areas in which improvements could be made and worked out an approach to a system of continuous risk management.
