Automatized Dissemination of Landslide Monitoring Bulletins for Early Warning Applications

Complex landslides are often monitored by multi-instrumental networks. These networks can be coupled with early warning systems that could reduce human, economic and environmental losses. The large amount of data provided by landslides monitoring networks can create issues related to the data management and processing. The use of different monitoring instruments can create problem in data interoperability and in the definition of multi-source landslide activity maps. In particular during emergencies, when monitoring data are a crucial element to support decision makers and to inform the population about the evolution of the slope instability, the communication of monitoring results should be managed using a dedicated communication strategy. In this paper, we present the developed communication strategy based on the use of a dedicated single page bulletin. This bulletin has been developed and tested during the Mont de La Saxe rockslide emergency and it has supported the landslide management team to inform the population about the evolution of the slope instability.
