IRDR France relaunches WG Networks and Natural Disasters
21 August 2015

In 2008, AFPCN (Association française pour la prévention des catastrophes naturelles), which functions as IRDR National Committee for France, established a Working Group that studied the vulnerability of networks in the face of natural hazards. A report was published that brought together evidence and analyses presented during the lifetime of the first cycle of the Working group’s activities (see: rapport de synthèse « Vulnérabilité des réseaux et catastrophes naturelles » available in French). The report also includes a comprehensive bibliography. The Working Group will hold a meeting to review lessons learned in October 2015.
