What are the responsibilities of public bodies under the Environmental Code in the event of landslides?
The Environmental Code establishes that the State, the regions, including the Autonomous Provinces of Trento and Bolzano, the provinces, municipalities, as well as mountain communities and land reclamation and irrigation consortia, according to their respective competences, contribute to the implementation of activities aimed at ensuring: the protection and reclamation of the soil and subsoil; the […]
What are the responsibilities of authorities under the civil protection code in the event of landslides?
The responsibilities of public entities regarding the prevention and management of landslides and hydrogeological instability are significantly established by the Civil Protection Code. Among the so-called “civil protection risks,” the hydrogeological risk is included, along with seismic, volcanic, hydraulic risks, adverse weather phenomena, and others indicated in Article 16 of Legislative Decree No. 1/2018. Civil […]
What responsibilities do public authorities have in the event of landslides?
With this note, the aim is to outline a summary of the responsibilities of public bodies and individuals working within them concerning the prevention and management of landslides and hydrogeological instability. After a brief introductory overview, the responsibilities of the various entities involved will be addressed, with particular attention to local authorities, as well as […]
What are the main risks associated with landslide monitoring and how are they managed?
Although landslide monitoring is essential for protecting people and infrastructure, it can involve certain risks, including device malfunction or loss of connectivity in remote areas. To mitigate these risks, Avacam has designed its devices with self-diagnostic functions that send automatic alerts if the device detects any anomalies in its operation. Furthermore, for remote or hard-to-reach […]
How secure is access to the data collected by the monitoring system?
Data security is a major concern in landslide monitoring, as the data collected is often sensitive and must be protected from unauthorised access. Avacam devices use secure cloud solutions for data storage, such as AWS and Azure, which are certified to ISO 27001 standards, ensuring compliance with best practices for information protection. Data access is […]
Are Avacam devices resistant to extreme weather conditions?
Yes, Avacam devices are designed to operate in extremely harsh environmental conditions, such as those typical of landslide-prone areas. The devices are constructed from weather-resistant materials, with IP67 protection making them waterproof and dustproof, ensuring operation even in humid or dusty environments. In addition, the devices are designed to operate at extremely low or […]
How can landslide monitoring help in emergency management?
Landslide monitoring offers a key advantage in emergency management, as it allows intervention before a landslide causes significant damage. With real-time monitoring, data on ground movements and signs of instability are collected and analyzed immediately, enabling local authorities to take timely preventive measures. If abnormal activity is detected, such as ground movements or soil saturation […]
How is the data collected by the landslide monitoring system analyzed?
The data collected by Avacam‘s landslide monitoring sensors is processed using an advanced analysis system based on artificial intelligence and machine learning. Each device is equipped with sensors that detect key variables such as ground inclination, temperature, and soil moisture. This data is sent in real time to secure cloud platforms, where it is processed […]
What are the advantages of continuous landslide monitoring?
Continuous landslide monitoring offers numerous advantages in terms of both safety and prevention. The ability to monitor areas at risk in real time allows signs of instability to be detected before a critical event occurs, enabling authorities to intervene promptly to reduce damage. Continuous monitoring technologies reduce the risk of accidents, preventing human and material […]
