8 Shelter Training Château de Penthes, Geneva, 12th – 14th May 2008 based on content developed by 4 mechanisms for building back safer Repair Rebuild Retrofit Relocate When homes have been damaged or destroyed or are at risk for future hazards, the four alternatives are: The aim of the four alternatives is to limit adapting local building traditions to only what is necessary for sustainable risk management

9 Shelter Training Château de Penthes, Geneva, 12th – 14th May 2008 based on content developed by 4 mechanisms for building back safer Repair: assess damage and possibility of repairing, perform technical surveys, use techniques to reduce vulnerability Rebuild: structures that cannot be repaired need to be demolished and rebuilt, reasons for failure identified and technical solutions incorporated Retrofit: protect against future hazards by installing safety features and retrofit techniques Relocate: avoid relocation when possible, however when an area is too hazardous resettlement may need to be restricted. Use hazard maps to avoid relocation to other hazardous areas
