Short summary
Flash floods and landslides have caused severe economic damages and loss of life, especially in mountainous regions e.g. Liguria. We created susceptibility maps to both hazards based on past recorded events and open-data such as slopes and altitude. We found a similar high predisposition to both hazards along the coast. Outside the coastal area, river valleys and urban areas (or upper river courses) exhibited high susceptibility only to flash floods (or landslides).
