Péri-urbanisation et risques naturels by Laurent Astrade, Céline Lutoff, Rachid Nedjai, Céline Philippe, Delphine Loison, Sandrine Bottollier-Depois

“…The low incidence of significant natural events, the effectiveness of the protective structures built, the absence of information provided by the public authorities and the division of the basin between several management bodies appear to have engendered a feeling of safety from natural phenomena. The geographical distribution of appreciation of the hazard clearly shows a distinction between those inhabitants living on the low ground and those at the bottom of the mountainsides, and this corresponds fairly closely with the historical and current location of the main potentially hazardous events that have occurred.…”
