disaster preparedness
Original Swedish:
Dels kan situationen bli värre än det tekniska skyddet är dimensionerat för, dels kan avgränsningar, som är avgörande för säkerheten på tillflyktslokalen, öppnas upp av själva utrymningsproceduren, eller av räddningsåtgärder
My translation so far:
On one hand the situation can become worse than the engineered protection was dimensioned for and on the other hand the barriers, that are crutial for the safety of the tillflyktslokalen, can be opened up by the evacuation procedure or by the rescue efforts.
American English please.
I am considering using "evacuation gathering zone" or something like that, but I am not sure if the word means "gathering point" or "place being evacuated"
