Dear Dr. Burlando,

As you know the process of peer review and publication in Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (NHESS) is a two-stage process involving the scientific discussion forum Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences Discussions (NHESSD). The first stage, corresponding to the open discussion has ended. The reviewers have already sent their comments and you have posted your comments as a response to them (in this case no more short comments of the scientific community have been received). You have also posted an updated version that contains explicitly all the changes proposed by the reviews or in answer to their proposals (i.e. new paragraph about sharing public data). Thank you very much. From now on begins the second stage that follows the usual and non-public peer-reviewed process.

Both referees have proposed minor changes that you have properly answered. Then I would ask you for submitting the revised new version of the paper and your answers to the referees (not any new change added by myself is necessary, in your case) in order to start the second phase of the publication process.

Best Regards
Prof. Maria Carmen Llasat
