Early Warning Systems for Landslide Risk Mitigation

Landslides pose significant threat to communities and infrastructure worldwide, necessitating the development of effective hazard and exposure reduction strategies to mitigate potential risks. Hazard reduction strategies, exposure reduction strategies and vulnerability reduction strategies can be adopted to reduce landslide risk.
This conference deals with the issue of early warning systems used for landslide risk mitigation. These systems, which identify and manage the paroxysmal phases of landslides by alerting and/or temporarily relocating the population, are increasingly applied all over the world also thanks to reduced management costs.
