| Summary: | Straightforward communication of monitoring results is of major importance
in emergency scenarios relevant to large slope instabilities. Here we
describe the communication strategy developed for the Mont de La Saxe
rockslide threatening La Palud and Entrèves hamlets in the Courmayeur
municipality (Aosta Valley, Italy). Starting from the definition of actions
and needs of the landslide management team, including scientists,
technicians, civil protection operators, decision makers, and politicians,
we show that sharing and disseminating ad hoc information simplifies the
understanding of the landslide evolution, as well as the correct
communication of the level of criticality. |
