SAFETY is a two years research project (1 January 2016 - 31 December 2018) funded under the ECHO (European Commission's Humanitarian aid and Civil Protection department) call, "Prevention and preparedness projects in Civil Protection and marine pollution". The mission of the project is to improve the efforts in detecting and mapping geohazards (i.e. landslides and subsidence), by assessing their activity and evaluating their impact on built-up areas and infrastructures networks. SAFETY will enhance ground deformation risk prevention and mitigation efforts in highly vulnerable geographic and geologic regions. The outcomes of the project will provide Civil Protection Authorities (CPA) with the capability of periodically evaluating and assessing the potential impact of geohazards on the selected sites. "D.E2.2 Hazard map of the southern Tuscany (Volterra area) test site" is a deliverable of Task E "Geohazard impact assessment", in the framework of the action Action E.2 "Susceptibility and hazard maps". The action will focus on generating susceptibility and hazard maps using data available in the project test sites (Task D). The results of the susceptibility and hazard assessments will be used to evaluate the impact on the urban areas and infrastructures. The report will describe for the Volterra test site_ i) the statistical distribution of landslide size obtained using LAND-STAT, the software for the determination of landslide statistics from inventory maps; ii) the landslide susceptibility map prepared using slope units (SU).
