Zone di allettamento

English translation: low risk areas/ safe areas

Italian to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Surveying
Italian term or phrase: Zone di allettamento
Zone di allettamento per il rischio idrogeologico e idraulico:
Ambiti territoriali ottimali caratterizzati da una risposta meteo-idrologica omogenea in occasione dell'insorgenza di una determinata tipologia di rischio.

What would the English be for zone di allettamento, defined as above? The basic meaning seems clear enough, places you want to be in to get away from risks... but what is the proper English term?
TIA

Explanation:
I don't know if these are technically authentic terms, but in the absence hitherto of alternatives I thought I might as well offer them anyway. HTH.
