| description | A permanent field installation for the systematic test of debris flow
warning systems and algorithms has been equipped on the eastern Italian
Alps. The installation was also designed to produce didactic videos and it
may host informative visits. The populace education is essential and should
be envisaged in planning any research on hazard mitigation interventions:
this new installation responds to this requirement and offers an example of
integration between technical and informative needs. The occurrence of a
debris flow in 2014 allowed the first tests of a new warning system under
development and to record an informative video on its performances. This
paper will provide a description of the installation and an account of the
first technical and informative results obtained. |
