Abstrakt: Natural disasters have increasingly threatened human life, infrastructure, and ecosystems, exacerbated by climate change, urbanization, and deforestation. Effective disaster risk management is crucial to mitigate these impacts. Traditionally, Geographic Information Systems (GISs) have provided spatial data analysis capabilities, but the advent of Web-GIS applications has revolutionized this field. Web-GIS platforms enable real-time data access and facilitate enhanced stakeholder collaboration. This paper details the development of a Web-GIS application tailored for hydrogeological risk management in Cervo Valley, part of the NODES—Nord Ovest Digitale e Sostenibile project under Italy's National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP). The application integrates both static and dynamic geospatial data to create an interactive interface for evaluating and planning responses to hydrogeological hazards, specifically floods, landslides, and debris flow cones. By utilizing advanced Web-GIS capabilities, the project aims to refine the risk management practices and decision-making processes, thereby bolstering territorial resilience and addressing contemporary spatial challenges with enhanced precision and efficiency.
