Storm Alex Landslide Inventory

The storm Alex that in 2020 hit the Mediterranean Alps represented and extreme meteorological event triggering devastating floods and landslides in both Italy and France, with severe consequences for people and anthropic settlements. After the Storm Alex, a detailed inventory of rainfall-induced hillslope instability processes was prepared by means of the visual interpretation of VHR satellite imagery in two adjacent mountain catchments of the Liguria Region (northern Italy) impacted by intense rainfall. The inventory map included a total of 302 features classified in debris slide (214), debris slides/debris flow (79) and channelized flow erosion (9).
