U-geohaz. Deliverable D4.4: Rockfall Information System (RIS) design

The actions defined and performed in the Activity 4.3 "Rockfall Information System "RIS" are described in this document, which represents the third deliverable of WP4 "Tools and methods to support Early Warning System for Rockfalls". The main goal of the Activity 4.3 is to collect and update the necessary input data to support U-Geohaz products related to rockfall hazard. This system will increase the knowledge of rockfall prone urban areas, promoting risk assessments and better risk management in urban areas and increasing their resilience. The RIS will gather updated information on rockfall events, Geographic data, Soil Data, Vegetation Data, Climate data and Resilience Data (Source data, Rainfall thresholds). The implementation of the RIS will involve not only the CPAs but also the related organizations that account for the different necessary input data. At the end of the project, a final demonstration of RIS will be done in one of the Canary island test site. The outcome of this task will be essential for the training of the U-Geohaz products in the WP5.
