LEGISLATION AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES IN NORWAY Sample Clauses

LEGISLATION AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES IN NORWAY. The Building and Planning Act in Norway has been under development since 1924, and the act went into force for the whole country in 1966. The latest revision dates to 1987. The Building Act applies when a detailed hazard plan is prepared with corresponding detailed maps. The on-going hazard mapping effort on survey maps at 1:50,000 scale has been operative since 1979, and approximately 110 maps have been completed to date. However, another 100 maps still need to be prepared, and an estimated 15 more years will be required to finish the task. So far the maps are not legally binding, but are used to help land-use planning in communities. The building council of the counties must comply with the rules stated in the Act. Advice on hazard zones and protective measures are given by geo-consultants. For avalanche-endangered houses older than 1966, the National Fund for Natural Disaster Assistance can finance rebuilding with protective measures or moving the houses. In 1980, a new Act stated that all property with Fire Insurance must also have Natural Hazard Insurance coverage. Damage caused by natural hazards will normally be compensated in full unless the owner has displayed gross negligence. Insurance companies do not initiate hazard assessment or recommend safety measures. They may, on the other hand, increase the insurance premium or refuse permission to rebuild. Today, risk and vulnerability analyses must be performed before regulation plans and building requests are approved by the county authorities. At the county level, the project proponent needs to establish whether the area is susceptible to landslide. For the regulation plan to be approved, the proponent needs to determine whether a hazard exists and what its potential consequences would be. In the building plans, the proponent needs to document safety or prepare mitigation measures. There is on-going work in Norway at the ministerial level to improve the coordination of risk mitigation for all types of slides (clay slides, rockslide, debris flows, avalanches and underwater slides). Both organization and responsibilities will be re-examined, factoring in increased hazard and risk due to climate and demography changes. Responsibility for coordination was assigned to the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE). The Directorate will be in charge of preparing guidelines and ensuring efficient operation for the following aspects: • National strategy for landslide management • Hazard assessme...
