The civilian use of small inexpensive mini- and micro-UAVs has increased dramatically in the past few years. UAVs can be used for natural hazards management. In this context, UAVs can be very useful for surveying and monitoring of active small landslides in urban environments. In this paper, a methodology for the data acquisition and processing that considers the landslide typology is presented and discussed. Two case studies from the northwest part of Italy are also described to illustrate the presented methodology.
