Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The registrations of out-payment due to hazards in Norway by the Norwegian National Fund for Natural Disaster Assistance (the NDAF-Statens Naturskadefond 1962-1994) and the Norwegian Natural Perils Pool (the NPP-Norsk Naturskadepool 1980-1994) are the basis for the regionalization of hazards in Norway. Four different regions at the county level are identified: Storms are the most important hazard, followed by floods. In Østfold and Sør-Trondelag clay slides rank second, as do snow avalanches in More og Romsdal. Rock falls are of surprisingly low importance.
