Italy: Piemonte Region Meteo-hydrological Alert and Real-time Flood Forecasting System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Information is provided on the approach and experience in flood management in the Piemonte Region. Actual practices comprise mainly: (i) the structural mitigation of floods; and (ii) non-structural safety measures subdivided into land use planning and emergency plan activation through hydrometeorological forecasting and the development of an Alert System for flood forecasting and warning. Of particular interest is the comprehensive description of the hazard map developed to establish the interaction between human activities, river and hill slope dynamics, of the risk scenario identification as well as of the Information System for Operational Flood

In recent years, the interest in the prediction and prevention of natural hazards related to hydrometeorological events has grown due to the increased frequency of extreme rainstorms. Several research projects have been developed to test hydrometeorological models for real-time flood forecasting. However, flood forecasting systems are still not widespread in operational context. Real-world exam...

متن کاملImproving Alpine Flood Prediction through Hydrological Process Characterization and Uncertainty Analysis
Among the many challenges of Alpine flood prediction is describing complex, meteo-hydrological processes in a simplified, robust manner that can be easily integrated into operational forecasting. In this dissertation, improved methods to characterize these processes are developed and integrated into the hydrological modeling component of an operational flood forecasting system used in the Swiss...
