Micore early warning system

The Micore Final conference: (202.65 KB)

8th June 2011, Riccione Italy

Organized by SGSS and University of Ferrara 

Abstract

The general aim of the project is to develop and demonstrate on-line tools for reliable predictions of the morphological impact of marine storm events in support of civil protection mitigation strategies.The project is specifically targeted to contribute to the development of a probabilistic mapping of the morphological impact of marine storms and to the production of early warning and information systems to support long-term disaster reduction
In Emilia-Romagna the case study area is the coastal area, with a specific monitoring between Savio and Lido of Dante.
Contact for Emilia-Romagna geological survey is:  Dott. Perini Luisa
