IFFI – Inventory of Famous Phenomena in Italy – Dataset

The Inventory of the Fenomeni Franosi in Italy (IFFI) aims not only to census landslides occurring on the national territory, according to a standardised and shared methodology, but also to be a basic cognitive tool for the assessment of landslide hazards of Hydrogeological Asset Plans (PAI), for the planning and preliminary design of soil defense interventions and infrastructure networks and finally for the drafting of Civil Protection Emergency Plans. In the period 2001-08, the implementation of the project took place through agreements. The first agreements (IFI Conventions) were concluded between the National Geological Service and the Autonomous Regions/Provinces between November 2000 and May 2001 and were concluded in 2005 for almost all regions. The second IFFI Conventions, concluded in 2005 between APAT and the Regions/Autonomous Provinces for the integration and updating of the database, were concluded between 2006 and 2008. Since 2008, the Regions have sent ISPRA any updates on the landslides in their possession. The data are updated to 2017 for the Umbria Region; 2016 for Emilia Romagna, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Liguria, Piedmont, Sicily, Valle d’Aosta and the Autonomous Province of Bolzano; 2015 for Tuscany; 2014 for Basilicata and Lombardy. For the remaining regions, the figures are updated to 2007.
