  1. Communication with users and stakeholders in response to landslide hazards within the context of the LAMPRE project Brussels, 10-11 June 2013 Supersites Coordination Workshop

  2. Project in a nutshell LAndslideModelling and tools for vulnerability assessment Preparedness and REcoverymanagement FP7-SPA-2012-1.1-04: Support to emergency response Prevention Preparedness Response Recovery • Started 1 Mar. 2013 • Duration: 24 months • Total costs: 2.5 M€ • 10 partners in 6 countries • Coordinated by CNR (IT)

  3. Consortium Research Organizations End-users Companies

  4. 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).

  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 satelliteswithin GMES services

  6. Activities… • Researching and developing new techniques and products to dynamically integrate satellite/airborne imagery • Designing and using intelligent image processing techniques • Modelling landslide-infrastructure interactions using advanced numerical modeling and ground based thematic information

  7. … and Outcomes 1. 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-printfor pre-operational service supporting decision making for the landslide disaster cycle

  8. Test Sites Highly vulnerable areas in Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Central America

  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

  10. Users and Needs Operational Users • I. CPAs • Products, tools and strategies for the landslides disaster cycle • II. Organizations that manage transportation networks • Similar to CPAs, but focus on managing expectations of probabilities of landslides intersecting different types of transportation networks. • III. Environmental, agricultural and forestry agencies • 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. • IV. Policy and decision makers • Standards and procedures for landslide hazard evaluation

  11. Users and Needs Scientific Users • V. Scientists • Scientific knowledge advancements on landslide phenomena. Other Users • VI. Citizens • 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. • VII. Geo-Spatial Companies • Products and tools combining and integrating multiple types of data, information and technologies for landslide susceptibility and vulnerability modelling. • VIII. Non Geo-Spatial companies • Landslide hazard evaluation and risk reduction in the areas they are operate.

  12. Approach to communication Based on five pillars: • 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.

  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

  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

  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

  16. Dissemination Strategy Dissemination levels Users Method/Channels Events/Timeline Awareness & Education I - VIII -Brochures and leaflets -Newsletters/social/video -FAQ and website activities -Presentations -External conferences (m. 1-24) -Website activities (video) -Forum on website -Publications (papers, posters and presentations) -Deliverables -External conferences (m. 1-24) -LAMPRE events: • SUG Workshops (m.18 m. 23) • Final conference (m.24) Understanding & Knowledge I - VIII Commitment & Uptake I - IV Exploitation

  17. Dissemination Strategy Four Dissemination Tasks • 9.1 Web-site based activities • 9.2 – Scientific publications and participation in conferences • 9.3 - Dissemination activities for the Stakeholders and Users Group (SUG) • 9.4 – Public outreach and education

  18. Dissemination Strategy 1 4 Features • Self-explanatory navigation • Visual • Jargon-free language • Responsive 3 2

  19. Dissemination Strategy • A Stakeholders and Users Group is being created to: • 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

  20. Dissemination Strategy The SUG is provisionally comprised of individuals from (i) CPAs in Europe, (ii) the Geological Surveys of Italy, India, Israel, Spain and Taiwan, (iii) the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute, (iv) the Taiwan Soil and Water Conservation Bureau (SWCB), (v) the IstitutoItalo – Latino Americano (IILA), (vi) the European Space Agency (ESA), (vii) the Italian Space Agency (ASI), and (viii) the Emergency Response Core Services (ERCS). SUG members fall into two groups 1: members with strong technical expertise 2: key stakeholder Several members have already joined the SUG.

  21. Dissemination Strategy • 9.3 - Dissemination activities for the SUG • 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 • A final conference on LAMPRE cooperation with GMES projects will be organized involving SUG and GEO members etc.

  22. Dissemination Strategy Public outreach and education • 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. • Outcomes • 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.

  23. Contribution to Supersites LAMPRE increases the operational capacity of GMES services to cope with landslides caused by different triggers. • Floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptionsand landslidescan occur simultaneously, or one or more of these hazards can trigger one or more of the others. • LAMPRE techniques, products and services can be used by other GMES projects dealing with volcanic and earthquake hazards.

  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
