eS21 engineering & structures typically recommends a three-phase flexible framework for risk reduction for a specific facility.

Where a critical facility has not been previously identified, eS21 also provides a rapid cost-effective ranking service that can be used as a management tool to prioritize those facilities requiring areas for more detailed review.

The three phases of a typical Natural Hazard Risk Reduction Program are:

1. Desktop study to assess hazard intensity, site survey to identify vulnerabilities and estimation of probable maximum losses

2. Detailed evaluation of critical buildings, development of strengthening options and cost-benefit study

3. Implementation of selected strengthening schemes

Each of the three phases can be tailored to suit a client's individual needs
