European Definitions

While recognising the threat from terrorism as a priority, the European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection (EPCIP) considers the protection of critical infrastructure to be based on an all-hazards approach [1]. If the level of protective measures in a particular CI sector is found to be adequate, EPCIP urges stakeholders to "concentrate their efforts on threats to which they are vulnerable".

Referring to the entire spectrum of hazards, whether they be natural or human-induced.

Se dit de la gamme complète des risques, qu’ils soient naturels ou d’origine humaine. [5]


“All-Hazards” approach does emphasizes the leveraging of synergies common across hazards and maintaining a streamlined and robust emergency management system. [6]

The “All-Hazards” approach also improves the ability of emergency management activities to address unknown hazards or risks.

All hazards incorporates natural and man-made hazards and threats, including traditional emergency management events such as flooding and industrial accidents; as well as national security events such as acts of terrorism; and cyber events. [7]

All-hazard approach (in Deutsch: All-Gefahren-Ansatz) is [9] "taking all (known) hazards into consideration equally, for example when performing a risk analysis, and not only individual areas such as terrorism or sabotage".
