TXT-tool 2.039-4.1: Flair model (forecasting of landslides induced by rainfalls)

Abstract

Mathematical models for landslide forecasting constitute an important component for Early Warning Systems. This teaching tool focuses on the empirical model named FLaIR (Forecasting of Landslides Induced by Rainfalls), developed at Laboratory of Environmental Carthography and Hydraulic and Geological Modelling (CAMILab) of University of Calabria (Italy). FLaIR is a general framework for many empirical models proposed in technical literature: in particular, it reproduces as particular cases all the ID (Intensity-Duration) schemes (Capparelli and Versace 2011). From the website www.camilab.unical.it it is possible to download the software FLaIR.exe, together with a user guide.
