The special issue wishes to highlight approaches and developments regarding correlation laws, monitoring systems, models for issuing different warning levels, landslide and warning databases, landslide forecasting, weather prediction models, emergency phases, communication strategies, performance analysis of the warnings issued, and other activities necessary for designing and operating LEWSs. We expect contributions addressing the following topics:
- operational and prototype landslide early warning systems at regional and local scale;
- correlation models for early warning purposes;
- landslide forecasting and warning models;
- performance analysis of landslide warning models;
- landslide risk management;
- landslide risk perception.
