French translation:Sécurisation
Explanation:
This was a bit of a mystery to me, but the reference below gave me just an inkling of an idea.
Après un désastre, par exemple un ouragan, il y a de fortes chances que vos biens sont ouverts à tout le monde; n'importe qui peut les piller - donc il faut les attacher pour les sécuriser.
C'est une interpretation comme une autre.

Explanation:
so that things do not fall apart, fall down, etc.
Securisation, as mentionned above, is also good in the sense of security (things are tied down in order to avoid casualties).
