RATIONALE

The quality, accuracy and completeness of landslide maps produced by GMES services are limited.

Little information is provided to users on the propensity of a territory to generate landslides, considering different triggers (e.g. rainfall, earthquakes, snowmelt events).

Supersite Coordination Workshop, Bruxelles, 10-11 June 2013 5

OBJECTIVES

Improve Civil Protection Authorities response capacity for landslide preparedness/mitigation & recovery/reconstruction through products

Improve the ability to detect/map landslides, assess/forecast the impact of landslides on vulnerable elements (built-up areas and transportation networks)

Improve the use of satellite imagery to prepare event, seasonal and multi-temporal landslide maps exploiting the ESA sentinel satellites within GMES services.

Supersite Coordination Workshop, Bruxelles, 10-11 June 2013 6

ACTIVITIES…

Researching and developing new techniques and products to dynamically integrate satellite/airborne imagery

Modelling landslide-infrastructure interactions using advanced numerical modeling and ground based thematic information

Designing and using intelligent image processing techniques

Supersite Coordination Workshop, Bruxelles, 10-11 June 2013 7

… AND OUTCOMES1. Advancing scientific knowledge about landslides caused by different triggers.

2. Establishing standards and delivering general and site specific flexible geo-processing products for improved:

landslide datasets and related frequency-size statistics

landslide detection and mapping

modelling of landslide susceptibility

assessing vulnerability and impact

3. A blue-print for pre-operational service supporting decision making for the landslide disaster cycle

Supersite Coordination Workshop, Bruxelles, 10-11 June 2013 8

TEST SITES

Highly vulnerable areas in Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Central America

Supersite Coordination Workshop, Bruxelles, 10-11 June 2013 9

COMMUNICATION WITH USERS

Landslide hazard assessment and management requires synergies of communication between operational and scientific users.

Information needs of operational users are:

Landslide susceptibility maps Landslide inventories Long-term monitoring of areas at higher risk Post-event motion and damage assessment Landslide vulnerability assessment

Supersite Coordination Workshop, Bruxelles, 10-11 June 2013 10

USERS AND NEEDS

Products, tools and strategies for the landslides disaster cycle

I. CPAs

Similar to CPAs, but focus on managing expectations of probabilities of landslides intersecting different types of transportation networks.

II. Organizations that manage transportation networks

Similar to CPAs, but focus on mapping and assessing landslide probability, and impact on blocked roads and rivers, including contribution of landslides to sediment changes in the system.

III. Environmental, agricultural and forestry agencies

Standards and procedures for landslide hazard evaluation

IV. Policy and decision makers

Operational Users

Supersite Coordination Workshop, Bruxelles, 10-11 June 201311

USERS AND NEEDS

Products and tools combining and integrating multiple types of data, information and technologies for landslide susceptibility and vulnerability modelling.

VII. Geo-Spatial Companies

Landslide hazard evaluation and risk reduction in the areas they are operate.

VIII. Non Geo-Spatial companies

Awareness on the basics of landslides events (where, when and to what extent the ground may become unstable) and procedures to follow if a landslide occurs.

VI. Citizens

Scientific knowledge advancements on landslide phenomena.

V. Scientists

Scientific Users

Other Users

Supersite Coordination Workshop, Bruxelles, 10-11 June 2013 12

APPROACH TO COMMUNICATION

1. Operational users need to be made aware that GMES services:

• have the potential to improve their response capacity to assess landslide hazard and mitigate risk;

• can be easily integrated into their operational processes.

Based on five pillars:

Supersite Coordination Workshop, Bruxelles, 10-11 June 2013 13

APPROACH TO COMMUNICATION

2. The focus of communication has to shift from technology to the cost-benefit advantages and public benefits of using GMES services:

cost reductions and efficiency gains in risk preparedness, mitigation, recovery and reconstruction activities

new business applications and job creation

reduced loss of life caused by natural hazards

Supersite Coordination Workshop, Bruxelles, 10-11 June 2013 14

APPROACH TO COMMUNICATION

3. Users need more facts on specific measures and incentives for the adoption of GMES services:

Collaborative business models and market mechanisms to facilitate market entry for new collaborative services, and to generate economies of scale;

Best practices of cooperation and integration between GMES services;

Best practices of cooperation between CPAs

Funding programs to facilitate collaboration at different levels and products/service take-up

Supersite Coordination Workshop, Bruxelles, 10-11 June 2013 15

APPROACH TO COMMUNICATION

4. Enhance European citizens’ involvement in innovative user applications such as:

Citizens observatories based on crowdsourcing which allows voluntary geographic information

Cloud-computing hubs exploiting open data and applications

DISSEMINATION STRATEGY

assess user needs;

advise on products & services specifications during their development;

assess procedures & criteria regarding landslide inventory maps and susceptibility models and evaluate their applicability

evaluate the economic and technologic sustainability of the prototype service,

contribute to deciding on appropriate take-up activities

disseminate project results

A Stakeholders and Users Group is being created to:

Supersite Coordination Workshop, Bruxelles, 10-11 June 2013 20

DISSEMINATION STRATEGY

SUG members fall into two groups

The SUG is provisionally comprised of individuals from (i) CPAs in Europe, (ii) the Geological Surveysof Italy, India, Israel, Spain and Taiwan, (iii) the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute, (iv) the Taiwan Soil and Water Conservation Bureau (SWCB), (v) the Istituto Italo – Latino Americano (IILA), (vi) the European Space Agency (ESA), (vii) the Italian Space Agency (ASI), and (viii) the Emergency Response Core Services (ERCS).

2: key stakeholder

1: members with strong technical expertise

Several members have already joined the SUG.

Supersite Coordination Workshop, Bruxelles, 10-11 June 2013 21

DISSEMINATION STRATEGY

Two workshops involving the SUG

at mid-project to evaluate the interim project results and provide feedback on products and services

at the end of the project to provide final recommendations on take-up activities

9.3 - Dissemination activities for the SUG

A final conference on LAMPRE cooperation with GMES projects will be organized involving SUG and GEO members etc.

Supersite Coordination Workshop, Bruxelles, 10-11 June 2013 22

DISSEMINATION STRATEGY

General Public (Citizens) interested in acquiring general knowledge about landslide events

High-school and university students interested in acquiring a deeper understanding of landslide phenomena.

Brochures using non-scientific language on specific themes (e.g., “what is a landslide event”, “remote sensing of landslides”, “how landslide event inventory maps are prepared”);

Dedicated LAMPRE web pages to basic information available on landslides and FAQ;

Master-classes on landslides.

Public outreach and education

Outcomes

Supersite Coordination Workshop, Bruxelles, 10-11 June 2013 23

CONTRIBUTION TO SUPERSITES

LAMPRE increases the operational capacity of GMES services to cope with landslides caused by different triggers.

Floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and landslides can occur simultaneously, or one or more of these hazards can trigger one or more .

LAMPRE techniques, products and services can be used by other GMES projects dealing with volcanic and earthquake hazards.

Supersite Coordination Workshop, Bruxelles, 10-11 June 2013 24

CONTRIBUTION TO SUPERSITES

Creation of thematic or regional R&D clusters based on the adoption of LAMPRE products and other GMES (now Copernicus) downstream services for Emergency Response Management:

New collaborative projects within the Supersites Initiative

LAMPRE data, products and tools as “add-ons” to Supersites projects

LAMPRE website will dedicate a section to clustering and collaboration activities
