Defining Complete Post-Flood Scenarios To Support Risk Mitigation Strategies

The chapter starts with a definition of a complete damage scenario after an event. Then, the specific post-event assessment methodology, prepared by the collaboration of Umbria Civil Protection Authority and researchers from Politecnico di Milano, is explained. The methodology has been applied to two cases: the floods that occurred in the Umbria Region, Central Italy, in November 2012 and November 2013, which provoked significant damage to multiple sectors. The primary focus of the research is to complete a post-event scenario that highlights the different combination of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability factors and specific characteristics that emerge from those factors across space and time.
