Abstract

Regions with great mountain landslides, regions with bigger climatic events (i.e. hurricanes and deluges) and regions with frequental seismic events (i.e. bigger earthquakes) with ensuing landslides represent one of the most detrimental natural hazards. These events have been responsible for some of most destructive natural disasters in terms of human and economical losses.
