2009 Natural Hazards  
Hazard mapping and mitigation approaches take advantage of a number of different techniques of analysis, based on empirical evaluations of causal factors, historical investigations and statistical analyses of past events, numerical models (which range in type from simplified to physically based), laboratory experiments, and theoretical studies. Recently, the availability of powerful computing environments and of GIS allowed to effectively handle increasing amounts of data and to develop
