The objective of this talk is to give a global overview of the main natural hazards existing on the French territory. With a special focus on floods, it will describe some of the attempts to prevent these natural events from turning into disasters, through legislation, urban planning, increased public awareness and scientific research. The example of “épisodes cévenols”, violent and localized storms usually causing floods, will be used to illustrate the situation in the Eastern Mediterranean region of France.

Predavanje organizira Geomorfološko društvo Slovenije v sodelovanju z Geografskim inštitutom Antona Melika ZRC SAZU.
