Crisis and Disaster Management

The Department of Environment and Civil Protection is also responsible for the agendas of Municipal Crisis and Disaster Management. Over several years, a modern crisis and disaster management system was established for Lienz. Various risk scenarios and risks for the city of Lienz were identified through a risk analysis and evaluated in terms of probability of occurrence and extent of damage.

This creates a dynamic model for crisis and disaster management in Lienz, whose objective, in addition to ensuring the services of the municipal emergency management, also includes reducing vulnerability and improving resilience. The crisis and disaster management of the city of Lienz has been supplemented with an assessment of climate-sensitive impacts in line with environmental changes and updated for the 2050 perspective.
