This section deals with emergencies which arise from land movements or structural failure in the built environment.
On this page:
Though the likelihood of significant structural hazards, such as the collapse of bridges or buildings, is assessed to be fairly low, such events have occurred in the UK and elsewhere.
The incidents of structural hazards that the UK Government uses for contingency planning purposes cover land movements (i.e. tremors and landslides), building and bridge collapse, and reservoir dam failure.
