Short summary
Through a geo-historical study, we compile an inventory of glacial and periglacial events that have prompted risk management actions in the Alps. Analysed through eight guiding principles, this research examines how methods have evolved across Alpine countries. Certain events mark turning points in risk perception. Today, management benefits from improved understanding of both hazards and vulnerabilities.
