RaStEM: a tool to support planning and design of hydrogeological risk mitigation measures
The monitoring of hydrogeological risk mitigation measures, that ISPRA has been carrying out for more than twenty-five years on behalf of the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security (MASE), highlights that in many cases measures planning and design does not take into account adequately the typological characteristics of the hazards and the relationships between them and the elements exposed to risk in the area
ISPRA has therefore developed a methodology for analyzing the effects of hydrogeological risk mitigation measures with the aim of making available to technicians a public and freely accessible tool that allows to represent the significant elements of a hydrogeological risk mitigation measure.This methodology, aimed at defining standardized criteria for the representation of the significant elements of the designs, was implemented through the development of the web gis application called RaStEM - Standardized Representation of Mitigation Effects.
The expected result is to contribute to spreading a correct design approach in which the elements that contribute to define risk scenarios are always clearly documented, even in their geographical component.
