Preface
Scientific reserach on natural disasters is now implementing new methodologies and aproaches as consequences of: mutating impact of extreme natural events in response to societal change like land use, lifelines, communications, transportation, etc.; 2. development which claim for new urban and industrial territories, often in hazard prone areas; 3. impact of modern society on natural climate variability (climate change) and consequently, on spatial and temporal frequency of extreme events related to hydrological cycle.
1.
As consequence of the above mentioned items it is necessary to develop a global approach to territory in order to understand reciprocous influence between climate dynamics with their extreme consequences like floods and landslid
