This paper investigates two severe floods that occurred in the upper Soana Valley (NW Italian Alps) in September 1993 and October 2000. In both events, intense rainfall triggered violent inundations along the Soana stream and its lateral creeks, producing extensive damage to several small urban areas along the riverbeds. Comparing these two...

This research deals with the use of historical cartography as a key tool for identifying flood risk areas for flash floods and consequently also for assessing the increase in the vulnerability of urban areas in the Mediterranean area. In recent years, there has been an increase in flash floods caused by intense and short-term rainfall: this may...

We present our research on the Prato Casarile landslide dam in Genoa city to illustrate the interactions between slope instability processes and structural stabilization interventions aimed to reduce the hazard in a densely-populated area. Analysis of the degradation of structural interventions constructed after flood events in 1953, 1970 and...

A project to develop a flood hazard management plan along the east shore of Lago Maggiore was carried out. Several municipal territories along a coastal stretch have been analysed, identifying the rate of water rise and the limits of the submerged areas. This study discusses the overall methodological approach and presents the results for Porto...
