Landslides, rockfalls and erosion

LANDSLIDES, ROCKFALLS AND EROSION

The risk of landslides, rockfalls and erosion is expected to increase as a result of climate change, particularly due to increased rainfall, higher runoff and water flows, as well as rising sea levels. These factors make areas with previously stable ground more vulnerable.

Property-specific risks: Landslides, rockfalls and erosion can weaken ground stability and cause serious physical damage to properties. This may in turn lead to structural collapses, damage to nearby buildings, as well as financial losses and business disruptions.

RiskMap parameters:

• The risk of landslides, rockfalls and erosion is assessed based on local data and highlights areas where ground movements have previously occurred, as well as areas with increased risk based on historical data, soil studies and detailed soil type mapping. These parameters help identify potential risk zones to support preventive measures.
