Comparison of different approaches for landslide-induced damage assessment: the case study of Agnone (southern Italy)

Landslides constitute one of the most important geo-hazards affecting southern Italy. Particularly, in this area slope movements have over time caused relevant socio-economic losses and, in some cases, also casualties. Prevention, prediction and monitoring of landslide phenomena play a keyrole to avoid or minimize their effects. In this work, damage suffered by facilities located within and surrounding a deep-seated landslide were classified through three different approaches. The investigated area is located in the municipality of Agnone (Molise region, central-south Italy), which is strongly affected by landslide processes. A main landslide event that occurred in 2003 is still active, exhibiting slow and intermittent movements. In this contribution, three different approaches for landslideinduced damage assessment are compared and their discrepancy discussed, highlighting the benefits and drawbacks of the different approaches. Finally, the future development of a new methodology and classification for infrastructures damage assessment is evaluated, merging the procedures used in this work.
