Diversity of Rainfall Thresholds for early warning of hydro-geological disasters
For early warning of disasters induced by precipitation (such as floods and landslides), different kinds of rainfall thresholds are adopted, which vary from each other, on the basis on adopted hypotheses. In some cases, they represent the occurrence probability of an event (landslide or flood),...

| description | For early warning of disasters induced by precipitation
(such as floods and landslides), different kinds of rainfall thresholds are
adopted, which vary from each other, on the basis on adopted hypotheses. In
some cases, they represent the occurrence probability of an event (landslide
or flood), in other cases the exceedance probability of a critical value for
an assigned indicator <i>I</i> (a function of rainfall heights), and in further
cases they only indicate the exceeding of a prefixed percentage a critical
value for <i>I</i>, indicated as <i>I</i><sub>cr</sub>. For each scheme, it is usual to define
three different criticality levels (ordinary, moderate and severe), which
are associated to warning levels, according to emergency plans. This work
briefly discusses different schemes of rainfall thresholds, focusing
attention on landslide prediction, with some applications to a real case
study in Calabria region (southern Italy). |
