Abstract
Geodynamic natural phenomena, such as landslides and earthquakes, are among the most hazardous natural threats to human lives and property. Usual landslide triggers are floods and heavy rainfall, in which case speed of onset is mostly rapid and damage to structures and systems can be severe (buildings may be buried or villages swept away). In addition, transportation networks, with embankment and cutting slopes, retaining structures, bridges, and tunnels as their integral parts, are considered to be of paramount importance when the risk under strong earthquakes is considered, since accessibility of roads affects the speed and the scope of the emergency measures to be provided in the very immediate post-earthquake emergency and relief operations, and since the earthquake-induced damages to the infrastructures could severely affect the economy of a region due to the time required to restore the functionality of the network. Prevention measures and activities are the best mean of protection of human lives and social goods. Natural disaster prevention arrangements are of long-term character with permanent governmental and professional activity for the needs of establishment of consistent scientific bases and their practical application in prevention and mitigation of disaster risk. In this respect, the contemporary tools in prevention of landslide occurrence, as well as in reduction of seismic risk for foundation structures and, in particular, for tunnel structures as crucial elements in transportation network, are presented in this chapter, with a special emphasis on the state-of-the-art hazard analysis, geotechnical and construction strategies of prevention and mitigation of adverse natural hazard effects, as well as on development of monitoring and early-warning systems.

“Building a culture of prevention is not easy. While the costs of prevention have to be paid in the present, its benefits lie in a distant future. Moreover, the benefits are not tangible; they are the disasters that did not happen” (Kofi Annan, Secretary General United Nations 1999).

European Union experience—for every €1 invested in disaster prevention, €4 to €7 are saved in disaster response (http://ec.europa.eu/echo/files/aid/countries/factsheets/thematic/disaster_risk_management_en.pdf).
