LEGISLATION AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES IN SWITZERLAND Sample Clauses

LEGISLATION AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES IN SWITZERLAND. In Switzerland and other European countries, disasters from natural hazards have led since the 1980’s to a growing awareness of the vulnerability of human life and infrastructure amongst populations and authorities. In fact, the potential of damage has increased steadily over time as a consequence of growing population density and economical value of infrastructure and property. From a historical point of view, the developments have been promoted to some extent by safety measure constructions against natural hazards (i.e. river corrections in the 19th century). A change in perspective has taken place and today’s focus is set on land use management schemes which are adapted to the natural conditions rather than the other way around. At federal, constitutional level, there are no general regulations concerning natural hazards, but the confederation is legitimated to formulate according to Art. 75 (land use planning), Art. 76 (hydraulic constructions) and Art. 77 (forestry) basic principles and prescriptions to be followed by the Cantons which represent the legal entities in Switzerland.

This includes especially the hazard cadastre and hazard maps (Art. 15 of the forestry act, WaV; Art. 27 of the hydraulic construction act, WbV). - The Cantons consider the basics of protection against natural hazards for all practice in land use (Art. 15, WaV; Art. 21 WbV). - The Cantons consider for the compilation of the basics against natural hazards the technical directives established by the Confederation (Art. 15, WaV). - If asked by the Confederation, the Cantons make the developments available for federal authorities and the public in a suitable form (Art. 15, WaV). - The Swiss Confederation ensures subsidies to the Cantons for the protection against natural hazards. These include not only constructional protective measures, but also the development of hazard maps and cadastres, monitoring and early-warning services (Ar...
