Project name: Debris Flow Risk Mapping and Early Warning in Italy
This project introduces a groundbreaking method to map debris flow risks and provide timely early warnings. Debris flows—rapid downhill movement of water-saturated soil and rocks during heavy rainfall—pose severe threats to communities and infrastructure.
By precisely identifying high-risk zones and refining alert systems, this approach enhances safety, bolsters infrastructure resilience, and minimizes damage.
It supports proactive disaster management, empowering vulnerable regions to reduce risks and respond effectively to potential hazards.
