ReNDiS - Repertory of mitigation measures for National SoilProtection
Since 2000, the Italian Ministry for the Environment (MATTM)
entrusted ISPRA the task of monitoring the programmes of emergency
measures to reduce hydogeological risk, according to DL 180/98
("Sarno Decree"). As a part of this activity, ISPRA developed the
project "Repertory of mitigation measures for National Soil
Protection (ReNDiS)" that aims at collecting into a database the
mitigation measures against floods and landslides in order to
making available to all the stakeholders involved in this theme, an
helpful tool that provides a constantly updated picture of the
works and the committed resources.
The Repertory consists of an "information system" built by a web
interface, developed to share and publish collected data on the
web. Through the interface ReNDiS-web it is possible to view the
actions that have been taken within a specific geographical area
and query the database, obtaining the corresponding statistical
reports on a range of features, or the typological and quantitative
data.
Currently the ReNDIS data are limited to projects funded by MATTM
with plans and programs focused on the most urgent measures
to reduce landslide and flood risks. The future goal will be to
include the further plans funded by other instruments (regional
laws, ordinances, etc..).
The interface structure has been provided with access to different
types of users. A partial set of information is available for
public consultation (“basic” users); the public
authorities involved in the plans and programs
(“registered” users) can also access all the
information concerning “their” own works and can bring
partial modification of data. The status of system administrators
are given to institutions owners of primary archives, for the part
of their competence.
Data shared and integrated in ReNDiS can improve the
effectiveness of monitoring and planning of the actions against
floods and landslides, and also develop new environmental
indicators to be used in natural risks reporting.
