Abstract
The Italian civil protection system is a comprehensive multi-level framework aimed at protecting people, property and the environment from natural and anthropogenic hazards. Hazard and risk models are essential for all phases of risk management. They guide preparedness and prevention policies, such as plans and structural retrofit programmes. They also underpin emergency management through early warning systems, real time monitoring, rapid damage assessments, and probabilistic models that support civil protection decision-making. In recovery phases, they inform reconstruction priorities and enable “build back better” strategies. An increasingly important role is played by multi-risk approaches. Risk perception and communication, as well as the emerging challenges posed by climate change, deserve special attention. Future priorities also include improved multi-risk assessment, integration of social vulnerability, and the use of artificial intelligence in hazard and risk modelling to enhance evidence-based decisions in disaster risk management.
A disaster risk analysis model coupling Geographic Information Systems, ensemble machine learning, and AI-driven interpretation tools, collectively termed GeoAI, to support multi-hazard risk assessment, resilience planning, and citizen-oriented risk communication.

Measures to safeguard transportation infrastructure from uncertain hazard events, such as a flooding event, are crucial for public safety, but require significant investment. As it is impractical to try to protect all assets from all possible futures, a risk‐based analysis approach for choosing a best protective strate...
Climate change and extreme weather events constitute a major threat to the integrity and the operability of every transportation system. Storm surges, wildfires, floods and hurricanes may produce unforeseeable damage to passengers, vehicles, goods and roads Among these climate hazards, floods are the most damaging and...
