| The right of a person to be protected from natural hazards is a
characteristic of the social and economical development of the society. This
paper is a contribution to the reflection about the role of Civil Protection
organizations in a modern society. The paper is based in the inaugural
conference made by the authors on the 9th Plinius Conference on
Mediterranean Storms. Two major issues are considered. The first one is
sociological; the Civil Protection organizations and the responsible
administration of the land use planning should be perceived as reliable as
possible, in order to get consensus on the restrictions they pose, temporary
or definitely, on the individual free use of the territory as well as in the
entire warning system. The second one is technological: in order to be
reliable they have to issue timely alert and warning to the population at
large, but such alarms should be as "true" as possible. With this aim, the
paper summarizes the historical evolution of the risk assessment, starting
from the original concept of "hazard", introducing the concepts of
"scenario of event" and "scenario of risk" and ending with a discussion
about the uncertainties and limits of the most advanced and efficient tools
to predict, to forecast and to observe the ground effects affecting people
and their properties. The discussion is centred in the case of heavy rains
and flood events in the North-West of Mediterranean Region. |
