2 Abstract Objectives Territorial context Socio-economic context Hazard assessment & management context Development Strategy Current State of development Lessons learned The way forward

3 Objectives Identification, analysis and zoning of the major hazards that occur on Tenerife island to generate a Territorial Plan that will be used as the future basis for Sustainable Development. Earthquakes Volcanoes Floods Forest Fires Landslides + Dangerous goods

4 Territorial Context

Volcanic origin Territorial Context Approximately

Hazards: Not many events in a short time frame Not a

5 Volcanic origin Territorial Context Approximately 2,000 sq. Km Rugged topography (3,718 m. asl over a maximum distance of 24 Km) No permanent river courses (aquifers) Warm weather (trade winds) Hazards: Not many events in a short time frame Not a severe damage in recent times (except for flash floods and forest fires)

6 Socio-economic Context

Socio-economic Context Important tourist

services High population density on specific areas

7 Socio-economic Context Important tourist destination (permanent and seasonal from a variety of EU countries) Huge economic growth in a short time Limited space for infrastructures and services High population density on specific areas Highly dispersed population spots Extreme pressures over the territory

8 Hazard assessment & management Context Lack of regulations enforcing natural hazards assessment in land use planning National insurance pool covers the losses of major catastrophes Scarcity of holistic risk assessment studies (qualitative and exclusively related with emergency management, Civil Protection) VOLCANIC CRISIS (2004)

9 Development Strategy Three steps process (by law) Contribution of experts, local authorities and interest groups. Participatory process Development of harmonized method. Exploitation of ITs (GIS, SDIs) Definition of a common ground for future regulations Promotion of risk management at the local scale (municipalities)

Development Strategy Lack of a multi-hazard

risk management Lack of awareness & education

10 Development Strategy Lack of a multi-hazard strategy Dispersed & fragmented data Lack of harmonization of procedures Lack of explicit land use regulations vs. risk management Lack of awareness & education Lack of political involvement 2007: National Soil Law 2007: INSPIRE Directive

15 There is a will to reach a compromise between development and sustainability Discussion and participation are key factors for acceptance There is a way to look for solutions Lessons learned There is an urgent need to improve data and generate pragmatic evaluation methods (indicators)

16 Formulation of the territorial regulations (2009) The way forward Development of a methodology that will allow assessment and implementation at the local level (indicators/harmonization) Improvement of IT capacities and services Raising of awareness & education
