| Zusammenfassung |
| Over the past century the municipal area of Genoa has been affected by
recurring flood events and several landslides that have caused severe damage
to urbanized areas on both the coastal-fluvial plains and surrounding
slopes, sometimes involving human casualties. The analysis of past events'
annual distribution indicates that these phenomena have occurred with rising
frequency in the last seventy years, following the main land use change due
to the development of harbour, industrial, and residential areas, which has
strongly impacted geomorphological processes. Consequently, in Genoa, civil
protection activities are taking on an increasing importance for
geo-hydrological risk mitigation. The current legislative framework assigns
a key role in disaster prevention to municipalities, emergency plan
development, as well as response action coordination in disaster situations.
In view of the geomorphological and environmental complexity of the study
area and referring to environmental laws, geo-hydrological risk mitigation
strategies adopted by local administrators for civil protection purposes are
presented as examples of current land/urban management related to
geo-hydrological hazards. Adopted measures have proven to be effective on
several levels (planning, management, structure, understanding, and
publication) in different cases. Nevertheless, the last flooding event
(4 November 2011) has shown that communication and public
information concerning the perception of geo-hydrological hazard can be
improved. |
