Description
The Autonomous Province of Trento, in implementation of art. 10 of Provincial Law no. 9 of 1 July 2011 "Discipline of civil protection activities in the province of Trento", drew up the Hazard Maps of its territory.
The Hazard Maps (CaP) take into account the dangers associated with hydrogeological phenomena, avalanches, floods, seismic phenomena, forest fires, certain hazardous substances, suspended cables or other obstacles to air navigation and unexploded ordnance.
These are the result of the activity of forecasting of the Civil Protection (art. 1 l.p. 9/2011) which is carried out through the identification, perimeter and classification of hazards and risks present on the territory.
The CaP classifies the provincial territory according to the following types of hazard
| HYDROGEOLOGICAL HAZARD Fluvial Hazard Torrential Hazard Lacustrine Hazard Landslides Rockfalls Deep-seated gravitational deformations Avalanches Glaciers and Little Ice Age (PEG) Permafrost and Rock glaciers Litho-geomorphological features | OTHER HAZARDS Seismic hazards Forest fires Unexploded ordnance Dangerous substances Suspended cables and obstacles |
|---|
The hazard classes are defined according to the reference document "Criteria and methodology for drawing up and updating hazard maps"approved by the Provincial Council, in its latest version, with resolution no. 1306 of 4 September 2020.
For homogeneity of representation, this document establishes that the expected events are classified according to the same hazard classes, differentiated on the basis of the foreseeable effects, without prejudice to the possibility that ad hoc provisions may be adopted for particular phenomena or territorial contexts.
The provincial reference structures for drawing up the maps and carrying out the activities are the Geological Service, the Risk Prevention Service, the Fire and Civil Protection Service, the Mountain Basin Service and the Forest Service.
The CaP represent the basic tools for prevention activities (activities aimed at eliminating or reducing risks, both through prescriptive and binding measures for a correct use of the territory, and through structural interventions) and protection (activities, mainly of a planning, organisational, cultural and training nature, and management interventions aimed at mitigating the harmful effects deriving from risks that cannot be eliminated through prevention activities) of civil protection.
In this perspective, the CaPs constitute the reference basis for the creation of two important land management tools: the General Risk Map provided for by Provincial Law 9/2011 and the Hazard Synthesis Map (CSP) envisaged by Article 22 of the Provincial Law for the government of the territory l.p. no. 15 of 2015.
The Provincial Council with Resolutions no. 1737 and 1748 of 29 September 2023 approved the first update of the Hazard Maps and the Hazard Synthesis Map for the entire provincial territory, in force from 6 October 2023, the day following its publication in the B.U.R..
The cartographic contents of the approved maps are available on the web for anyone via web-gis with the possibility of viewing the maps theme by theme and downloading shapefiles and multi-layer PDFs at a scale of 1:10,000.
NB: It should be noted that the correct interactive display of maps in multi-layer PDFs also depends on the browser used. If this does not work, it will be necessary to download the file on your machine and open it with ADOBE READER.
The maps are also available online via the following links:
The CaPs concerning Unexploded Ordnance, Hazardous Substances and Suspended Cables and Obstructions to Air Navigation are currently not available in the integrated viewer above but only as PDFs, as they are produced on a smaller scale:
- PDF Dangerousness Map Unexploded Ordnance
- PDF Dangerousness Map Air Navigation Obstacles
- PDF Dangerous Substances Hazard Map
