Risk mapping is a technical tool that represents, through maps, the areas that are vulnerable to natural or human-induced hazards such as floods, wildfires, landslides, or earthquakes.
Its purpose is to identify, locate, and quantify risks in order to support land-use planning, disaster prevention, and informed decision-making by public authorities, urban planners, and emergency services. By integrating geographic, historical, and climate data, it helps anticipate impacts and design mitigation strategies tailored to the specific territory.
