The perpetuation of disasters and calamities caused by hydro geological instability, has prompted in recent years Government and Local Authorities to search for solutions in order to minimize the damages or at least to mitigate the effects of events that are beyond human control, focusing on the analysis of the timeframe and the circumstances of the site in which these events can occur.

The geological risk is described by a formula that links hazard, vulnerability and exposed value. The risk can be defined as:

The risk assessment is the analysis of the relationships between the various factors of vulnerability of the area and the possible types of hazard.

The mitigation measures can be implemented, case by case, by acting against the hazard, the vulnerability or the value of elements at risk.

The vulnerability depends on both the type of the element at risk and the intensity of the landslide process and describe the connection between the intensity of the phenomenon and its possible consequences.

The potential damage is not related to the probability of occurrence of the phenomenon (the hazard) and expresses the share of the value of element at risk that may be compromised in case of occurrence of the landslide.
