1 SPATIAL ANALYSIS AND DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT: RETROSPECTIVE AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS CEES VAN WESTEN International workshop on Multi-Hazard and Risk March 2015, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

2 CONTENTS Introduction Case study: Fella river, Italy Hazard Vulnerability Risk Web-based system for changing risk analysis: Concept & objectives Input data requirements System architecture Risk analysis Cost-benefit analysis Conclusions

3 RISK ASSESSMENT A: Input data B: Susceptibility assessment C: Hazard assessment D: Exposure analysis E: Vulnerability assessment F: Risk assessment G: Quantitative risk Economic risk Direct Indirect Population risk Societal risk Individual risk H: Qualitative risk 3

4 Two EU projects The analysis was carried out in two EU FP7 projects CHANGES: 4 PhDs and 5 ESRs for 18 months each (programming) INCREO: Data acquisition, design and coordination

5 Quantitative multi-hazard risk assessment in the Eastern Italian Alps using GIS based flood and landslide modelling Medium scale landslide risk assessment is useful for decision making, spatial planning and allocating budgets and resources to multiple municipalities, provinces and local governments in larger areas. This use case shows an example of the use of LiDAR data for multi-hazard risk assessment: Debrisflows Flashfloods River floods

7 Hydro-meteorological event: 29 August 2003 Convective storm system Rainfall peaks ~ 390 mm in 12h Liquid peak discharge ~ 20 m³ s -1 km -2 Flash floods, floods, debris flows, erosion Damages ~ 389 mil. Euros, 2 casualties ( Civil Protection, FVG Region, Italy)

10 Probability of not being exceeded F(x) Changing return periods? Analyzing possible effects of climate change Return Period Change in intensity depends on where you are in the precipitation distribution (left) Wide range of possible future scenarios (right) First results from the new CMIP5 RCM climate projections (CORDEX: wcrp-cordex.ipsl.jussieu.fr/) 1 Fella, annual daily maximum rainfall 100 Change in return period (base = 20 year RP ) Increase or decrease in intensity Both show increase obs low high Precipitation (mm) Median RP decreasing over time

11 Generating a multi-annual landslide inventory

12 Debris flow inventory in the Fella River Basin Multi-temporal debris flow inventory consisting of point sources and run-out polygons Year Number of debris flows 137 MainBasin_To Polygan1 gend dem_int vation m 426m Landslide AVI (CNR IRPI) lshade_5mdem_int IFFI projects (ISPRA) km lue Geological Service of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region High (FVG) : 255 University of Trieste Low : 0 ± 3/28/2015

13 Landslide susceptibility assessment Weights of evidence modelling, Using debris flow data only W + i = W ī = log log e e P { B S} P { B S } i i P { B S} P { B S } i i Only very high areas concidered for run-out modeling Major event susceptibility map Success rate: 82.53% Prediction rate: %

14 Intensity (mm/hr) When do floods and landslides occur in Fella? Floods and landslides occur with higher intensity rainfall compared to normal Intensity duration relationships similar to those from other study areas Sub-daily values are also important but limited timeseries ( < 20 years) Can disaggregate daily to hourly but uncertainty in the precise hourly distribution of the rainfall ID (daily) for Fella River Duration (hrs) Floods and flash floods Debris flows, slides Caine, 1980 ID equation Guzzetti et al 2008 ID equation

15 Timeline of change in landslide risk Return period scenarios were determined with extreme value distribution analysis of daily rainfall and using the debris flow inventory August Disaster Moderate Major Minor

16 Flow-R debris flow run-out model An Empirical GIS model for gravitational hazards at a Regional scale INPUTS: 1. Source areas 2. DEM 3. Parameters Travel angle Maximum velocity OUTPUTS: 1. Probability of flow direction 2. Maximum kinetic energy Horton, P., Jaboyedoff, M., Rudaz, B., and Zimmermann, M.: Flow-R, a model for susceptibility mapping of debris flows and other gravitational hazards at a regional scale, Nat. Hazards Earth Syst. Sci., 13, , doi: /nhess , /28/2015

17 Flow-R source area criteria 1. Only very high susceptibility zones are used. 2. We take gullies and channels into consideration by using a planar curvature threshold (< 4/100 m 1) 3. Original debris flow source areas for each return period 4. A slope angle threshold related to flow accumulation (Horton et al., 2008; Heinimann, 1998; Rickenmann and Zimmermann 1993) Rare fitting Risk Scenario (return period) Travel angle ( ) Velocity (m/s) Major ( yrs) Moderate ( yrs) Minor (10-25 yrs) 17 8 Frequent (1-10 yrs) /28/2015

18 Flow-R probability maps to intensities? Flow-R probability is not a hazard intensity, but just the likelihood of a flow reaching an area.we need intensities!!! Expert based transfer function between probability and impact pressure Legend prbm_13_15 Value High : Impact pressure (KPa) of past events at elements at risk 2. Morphological distribution of Low : debris flow probabilities within a debris flow path 3/28/2015

19 Flow-R probability maps to intensities? Relating Flow-R probabilities with intensities from physical based local scale debris flow models (Flo-2D, MassMov2D) both type of models are using the same DEM MassMov2D (Hussin et al., 2014) Flo-2D (Calligaris et al., 2008, Calligaris and Zini, 2012 Debris flow dam (2003) RAMMS Voellmy Rheology Houses 3/28/2015

20 Flow-R probability maps to intensities? Heavily skewed probability distribution towards the very low probabilities Legend prbm_13_15 Value High : Low : The probability map was classified into 10 Quantile classes to better represent the lower probabilities Relationship Flow-R probability vs max flow height

21 Debris flow impact pressures (KPa) Major event ( year RP) Major event ( year RP), travel angle = 13, velocity = 15 m/s Moderate event ( year RP), travel angle = 15, velocity = 10 m/s Minor event (10 25 year RP), travel angle = 17, velocity = 8 m/s ± 0 5 Kilom km

22 Debris flow intensity flow heights (m) Major event ( year RP) Moderate event ( year RP) Minor event (10 25 year RP) ±

24 Flashflood modeling 10 yr 25 yr 50 yr 100 yr Middle 138 mm 170 mm 196 mm 225 mm Low limit (95%) Higher limit (95%)

25 Flood depth Flow velocity Flood modelling Hydraulic modelling was performed using HecRAS 4.1 and its GIS-assisted version GeoHecRAS (ArcGIS 10.1) The bathymetry of the river and correspondent topography of the flood plain was obtained from Lidar data at 1m resolution

33 Generating vulnerability curves A.

35 Multi-hazard risk maps

36 Validation with losses occurring in last event

37 Conclusions Change in risk: ,53 million 13,81 million 1,48 million Risk decreases after a major event because also sediments needs to be recharged, risk after 2003 is even smaller than before There is an underestimation of the total loss? Why? Hazard intensities are underestimated. Vulnerability curves from literature possibly not suitable for our area.
