Following recent severe natural events, attention has been focused on industrial installations located in areas prone to natural hazards. This work concerns the study of volcanic Na-Tech events (i.e. technological risks triggered by natural causes) and aims at defining a procedure for the representation of the vulnerability of industrial facilities in areas with the potential volcanic ash fallout by means of a Geographical Information System (GIS). Here, we focused on the construction of a semi-automatic procedure for the vulnerability mapping, to apply when input data is very limited; it is based on the use of a specific tool named ModelBuilder of the ArcGIS software.

Abstract
Following recent severe natural events, attention has been focused on industrial installations located in areas prone to natural hazards. This work concerns the study of volcanic Na-Tech events (i.e. technological risks triggered by natural causes) and aims at defining a procedure for the representation of the vulnerability of industrial facilities in areas with the potential volcanic ash fallout by means of a Geographical Information System (GIS). Here, we focused on the construction of a semi-automatic procedure for the vulnerability mapping, to apply when input data is very limited; it is based on the use of a specific tool named ModelBuilder of the ArcGIS software.Pubblicazioni consigliate
