Abstract

This paper deals with the establishment of an integrated system of the "crisis management" from the flood forecasting (thanks to hydropluviometric control) to the alert of the local civil protection authorities, through the risk communication with the citizens, both in "time of peace" and during the events. It will be experienced in an Alpine valley (north-west of the Come lake) a new system of real-time monitoring of the Livo river gauge. This system also measures the solid transport which is very important during summer rapid floods. This system links a new technology to a set of operation plans, alert procedures and information.
