Tropical cyclones are one of the most dangerous natural phenomena. These extreme events
involve various hazards, such as strong winds, severe precipitation, storm surge, flooding …

Simulation tools and their integrated models are widely used to estimate potential starting,
transit and runout zones of gravitational natural hazards such as rockfall, snow avalanches …

One of the most critical challenges in preventive planning and disaster management is the
multitudinous uncertainties involved in decision-making. Previous studies showed the …

Snow avalanches are recurring natural hazards that affect the population and infrastructure
in mountainous regions, such as in the recent avalanche winters of 2018 and 2019, when …

Mountain protection forests can prevent natural hazards by reducing their onset and
propagation probabilities. In fact, individual trees act as natural barriers against …

Protective forests are a key component to reduce natural hazard risks in mountain areas by
