The study of Drought, Flood and Waterlogging Damage (DFWD) aims at mainly solving 4 basic problems : 1) the change sequence in historical period; 2) the mechanism and trigger event; 3) the loss estimation; 4) the measures of prevention and control
. Many forecast models are developed, and the measures of prevention and control are suggested, i.e., the adoption of measures combining engineering techniques with biological measures. In the past years, advances have been made in those 4 aspects.
The prevention of hazardous incidents belongs to the responsibility of spatial planning, but is not yet systematically considered in decisions of spatial planning. The article researches, how instruments of urban and regional planning can contribute
to the prevention of hazardoud incidents in technical establishments and how these instruments can be optimized or improved. The development of a three-phase risk-information-system enables the derivation of different risk-areas for a better consideration
