| Zusammenfassung |
| The winter season 2008–2009 has been characterized by heavy snowfalls over
the western Alps. The snowfalls have been exceptional because of their
earliness, persistence, intensity and territorial spread. The impact on the
regional environment and territory has been relevant, also from the
economical point of view, as well as the effort of the people involved in
the forecasting, prevention and fighting actions. The environmental induced
effects have been shown until late spring. Several snowfall events affected
also the plains and the main towns, causing social impacts. The purpose of
this work is to describe the overall effects of the anomalous snowfalls and
the emergency response by the local government and institutions to face the
hazard scenario and mitigate the risk for people, properties and
environment. Arpa Piemonte (Regional Agency for Environmental Protection)
gave the technical support to the snow emergency management borrowing the
expertise acquired during the heavy hydrological events occurred in the
Piemonte region and contributing to minimize losses. A short list of
recommendations came out from the experience, as well as the technical tools
and products, all highlighting the emergency preparedness relevance. |
