| Zusammenfassung |
| Rapid mass movements (RMM) pose a substantial risk to people and
infrastructure. Reliable and cost-efficient measures have to be taken to
reduce this risk. One of these measures includes establishing and advancing
the state of practice in the application of early warning systems (EWSs).
EWSs
have been developed during the past decades and are rapidly increasing. In
this paper, we focus on the technical part of EWSs, i.e., the prediction and timely
recognition of imminent hazards, as well as on monitoring slopes at risk and
released mass movements. Recent innovations in assessing spatial
precipitation, monitoring and precursors of the
triggering and deformation of RMM offer new opportunities for
next-generation EWSs. However, technical advancement can only be transferred
into more reliable, operational EWSs with an adequate well-instructed
dedicated staff. To this end, an intense dialog between scientists,
engineers and those in charge of warning, as well as further experience with
new comprehensive prototype systems jointly operated by scientists and
practitioners, will be essential. |
