An important step forward in the knowledge of flood risk and its mitigation: the assessment of flood damagee: la valutazione del danno da alluvione
The Po River District Basin Authority and 8 other Italian research centers have signed an agreement to update the maps of the expected damage in case of flooding in the district’s territory.
