Geohazards

Landslides, earthquakes and other potential risks

 

Apuan Alps Geopark promotes awareness of geological hazards, including earthquakes and especially landslides and debris flows, during the flash floods. It prepares disaster mitigation strategies among local communities and schools.
Through educational activities for the local people and visitors, the Geopark gives information on the source of geological hazards and ways to reduce their impact including disaster response strategies.
These efforts build important capacity and contribute to building more resilient communities that have the knowledge and skills to effectively respond to potential geological hazards.
