Approcci territoriali integrati per i Piani di emergenza

Starting from the assumption that research has, for many years now, intertwined issues of risk mitigation with those linked to territorial planning, the main aim of this study is to propose a useful approach to enrich in spatial terms an operational plan as the emergency plan is. Referring to the ‘method’ as the set of principles, rules and procedures able to know and order the issues dealt and ‘tools’ as the specific techniques used to pursue fixed goals, this paper describes the methodology of the general research consisting of a series of specific objectives and then it goes into details of one of them, namely the assessment of vulnerability and of the expected damage from seismic events, especially for infrastructures with a considerable importance in post-earthquake phases.
