Zusammenfassung |
The analysis of data describing damage caused by mass movements in Calabria
(Italy) allowed the organisation of the Support Analysis Framework (SAF), a
spreadsheet that converts damage descriptions into numerical indices
expressing direct, indirect, and intangible damage.
The SAF assesses damage indices of past mass movements and the potential
outcomes of dormant phenomena re-activations. It is based on the effects on
damaged elements and is independent of both physical and geometric
phenomenon characteristics.
SAF sections that assess direct damage encompass several lines, each
describing an element characterised by a value fixed on a relative arbitrary
scale. The levels of loss are classified as: L4: complete; L3: high; L2:
medium; or L1: low. For a generic line l, the SAF multiplies the value of a
damaged element by its level of loss, obtaining dl, the contribution of
the line to the damage.
Indirect damage is appraised by two sections accounting for: (a) actions
aiming to overcome emergency situations and (b) actions aiming to restore
pre-movement conditions. The level of loss depends on the number of people
involved (a) or the cost of actions (b).
For intangible damage, the level of loss depends on the number of people
involved.
We examined three phenomena, assessing damage using the SAF and SAFL,
customised versions of SAF based on the elements actually present in the
analysed municipalities that consider the values of elements in the
community framework. We show that in less populated, inland, and affluent
municipalities, the impact of mass movements is greater than in coastal
areas.
The SAF can be useful to sort groups of phenomena according to their
probable future damage, supplying results significant either for insurance
companies or for local authorities involved in both disaster management and
planning of defensive measures. |
