“…It is closely related to landslide damage potential, and to accurately describe it, at least several years of continuous monitoring data are required [5,6]. In absence of monitoring data, spatial distribution of the movement can be inferred by landslide surface mapping [7,8]. Since an accurate analysis of landslide-related risk should account for the magnitude of the events, factors controlling movement, and potential near-future evolution, a detailed knowledge of landslide kinematics and dynamics through continuous monitoring is of basic importance and can contribute to mitigation measures design [9].…”

Continuous monitoring of landslides is of basic importance for understanding their behavior, defining their 3D geometry, and providing a basis for early warning purposes. While a number of instrumentations can be used for tracking surface displacement, only automatic or fixed multi-module inclinometers can be used for continuous monitoring of displacement at depth, providing valuable information for landslide geometry reconstruction. Since these instruments are very expensive, thus rarely used, a low-cost and multi-module fixed inclinometer for continuous landslide monitoring has been developed. In this paper, the electronics of the system, including sensor characteristics and optimization, controlling software, and structure are presented. For system development, a single module prototype was first developed and tested in the field to ensure sufficient measuring performance. Subsequently, the multi-module system was designed, assembled, and tested in controlled conditions. Test results indicate the good performance of the system with a displacement measuring accuracy of 0.37% of the length of the inclinometer chain. The linearity test indicates the high linearity of the measures, especially in the range ±20°, which is the typical operating range of such kinds of instrumentations. The thermal efficiency test indicates the high efficiency of the system in preventing measuring errors caused by thermal drifting.

“…In these conditions, the combination of multiple perspectives derived by the analysis of aerial imagery and the direct observation in the field is often the key to accurately report a landslide and its mesoscopic features in a map (e.g. Ardizzone et al, 2012;Calista et al, 2016;Guerriero et al, 2013;Guerriero et al, 2016;Guerriero et al, 2017a;Revellino, Grelle, Donnarumma, & Guadagno, 2010;Santangelo, Gioia, Cardinali, Guzzetti, & Schiattarella, 2015). Conversely, in urban areas, landslide identification is not always possible due to the masking action of urban settlements.…”

The Apennine provinces of Campania Region (southern Italy), Benevento, Avellino and Salerno, are known for their 'unstable towns' suffering periodic damage from landslides. Their identification and mapping are very challenging tasks, since boundary mapping under urban settlements is not always possible without time-consuming field analysis of building damage and/or expensive mid-term diffuse ground-surface deformation monitoring. To overcome this problem, an inventory of town-damaging landslides, guided by available Permanent Scatterers (PS) ground-deformation data, was prepared. It provides an updated tool suitable to guide future land planning and historical site restoration in the Apennine provinces of Campania Region. Our fourteen Map Sheets show active and local reactivation of suspended/ dormant landslides. Overall, 356 landslides were identified, amongst which 162 were identified as flows, 101 as slides, 1 as a spreads and 92 as complex landslides. To supplement our maps, a simplified distribution analysis based on major landslide morphometric characteristics was completed. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…On 15 October 2015, a destructive overflow of the Tammaro and Calore rivers hit the town of Benevento in southern Italy, and the central sector of its province, already known for other natural hazards like landslides and earthquakes (e.g. Guerriero et al, 2016;Guerriero et al, 2017;Maresca, Castellano, De Matteis, Saccorotti, & Vaccariello, 2003;Revellino, Grelle, Donnarumma, & Guadagno, 2010). The event caused two deaths and severe damage to infrastructure, buildings and local agriculture.…”

On 15 October 2015, a storm-induced flood hit the central sector of Benevento Province (southern Italy) causing two deaths and severe damage to infrastructure, buildings and local agriculture. This area has a long history of similar events and since 1924 its major river segments have been monitored with several hydrometric stations. We used data from two of these stations and a LiDAR derived high-resolution topography to develop a flood hazard map. For map computation, we first derived a flood inundation map from topography. Subsequently we estimated the probability of exceedance of each specific fluvial stage from the combination of a Generalized Extreme Value and a Gamma fits of available hydrometric data. As boundary condition, we considered a reference scenario corresponding to an estimated 500 year flood. The hazard maps provide an overview of the flood hazard in the central sector of Benevento Province and floodplains zonation in flood perspective. ARTICLE HISTORY
