SafeLand
2009
SafeLand will develop generic quantitative risk assessment and management tools and strategies for landslides at local, regional, European and societal scales and establish the baseline for the risk associated with landslides in Europe. Goal of the project is to improve our ability to forecast landslide hazard and detect risk zones.

Within SafeLand triggering mechanisms, its underlying processes and run-out models in landslide hazard assessment will be investigated. European areas with higher landslide hazard and risk will be identified as “hotspots”. The impact of climate change scenarios and changes in demography and infrastructure will be integrated in the hazard and risk evaluation of selected "hotspots". A further task of the project are technical and practical issues related to monitoring and early warning for landslides, and identify the best technologies, in the context of both hazard assessment and of design of early warning systems. Finally SafeLand addresses risk management issues. It integrates the developments and new methods into a toolbox of risk mitigation and prevention measures and guidelines for choosing the most appropriate risk management strategy to reduce the risk level to specific targets.
