CONCLUSIONS

> Update planning procedures to integrate

“comprehensive” analysis of risks.

> Show options, costs, impacts and risks and ways

to recovery for different horizons.

> Integrate public participation for choosing

options, efficiency & sustainability & standards of

service/risks.

> Be prepare to cope with unfulfillment of targets.
