Hydrogeological risk is a very heart-felt topic; the events which recently occurred in different areas of the planet remind, with hard evidence, what the impact and devastation brought to the population can be. The importance of research on methods to support prediction, mitigation and post-disaster relief measures - from local to regional scale - is obviously a critical aspect. Italy, as host country of the workshop, has 88% of its towns with areas exposed to some type of hazard.

Abstract

Hydrogeological risk is a very heart-felt topic; the events which recently occurred in different areas of the planet remind, with hard evidence, what the impact and devastation brought to the population can be. The importance of research on methods to support prediction, mitigation and post-disaster relief measures - from local to regional scale - is obviously a critical aspect. Italy, as host country of the workshop, has 88% of its towns with areas exposed to some type of hazard. Implementing a research and development value-chain will support decision makers and act as leverage for jobs for young researchers and related start-ups.
