| Zusammenfassung |
| In the Piedmont Region (North-Western Italy), the regional
authorities manage debris flow risk by following the ideal sequence
of steps that are generally pursued in land planning and civil
protection activities. Complex procedures and methods are elaborated
and widely discussed with politicians, economists and the general
public. On the contrary, in emergency situations, civil protection
agencies generally prefer the adoption of simple and flexible
criteria. In this paper, a catastrophic debris flow event, that
occurred in 2008 in Villar Pellice, is described in this
perspective, after an analysis of the triggering rainfalls and of
the effects on human life and properties. The availability of a
series of personal accounts coming from people who witnessed the
occurrences before, during and after the event has allowed us to
analyse, in detail, the dynamics of the event. Thanks to these
accounts, it has been possible to propose new guidelines for the
planning of the emergency activities in areas that are potentially
prone to similar impulsive phenomena. |
