Con l'aumentare del rischio di catastrofi, dovuto a molte cause come: il cambiamento d’uso del suolo, l'aumento dell'esposizione in aree soggette a rischio, i cambiamenti climatici, una maggiore quantità di dati disponibili nel corso degli anni, ecc., molte organizzazioni internazionali hanno sottolineato l'importanza di raccogliere e registrare i dati relativi ai danni causati da disastri. Quest’ultimi possono essere molto utili perché con una maggiore comprensione delle tendenze degli eventi e dei loro impatti, è possibile pianificare una migliore prevenzione, mitigazione e misure di intervento per ridurre l'impatto delle catastrofi sulle comunità. Nell'obiettivo comune di ridurre il rischio di catastrofi imminenti, negli ultimi decenni sono stati emanati atti legislativi, avviate iniziative, prodotti documenti e avviati contesti a livello nazionale, europeo e internazionale per trovare obiettivi comuni e fissare traguardi. In Europa la "Direttiva alluvioni" 2007/60/CE (FD) impone agli Stati membri di sviluppare, tra l'altro, una valutazione preliminare del rischio di alluvione (PFRA). A supporto della PFRA, in Italia è stato ideato il catalogo degli eventi alluvionali FloodCat (Catalogo Flood) che è una piattaforma web-GIS creata dal Dipartimento della Protezione Civile per consentire la raccolta sistematica di informazioni sugli eventi alluvionali passati. In questo studio viene effettuato un confronto fra FloodCat e alcuni contesti, documenti, direttive e database selezionati a livello internazionale, europeo e nazionale al fine di vedere quanto FloodCat sia in linea con iniziative simili nel campo della riduzione del rischio di catastrofi. Lo stato di emergenza in Italia è stato studiato in modo olistico a partire dalle procedure di allerta, la dichiarazione dello stato di emergenza e lo stato di calamità naturale fino al risarcimento del danno da parte dell'Amministrazione statale. Successivamente è stata descritta in dettaglio l'implementazione, miglioramento e ottimizzazione del sistema FloodCat nella Regione Marche, come regione pilota per l’utilizzo, del sistema. Un caso studio (Maggio 2014) è stato analizzato dal punto di vista dei dati sui danni. Infine è stato fatto uno sforzo per applicare la stima del danno economico ai record FloodCat. Questo studio presta particolare attenzione ai dati di danno e perdita dopo eventi di alluvione.

Abstract
As disaster risk is increasing, due to many causes as the land use change, increased exposure in hazard prone areas, climate change, higher amount of data available through the years etc., many international organizations have underlined the importance of gathering and recording disaster loss data. The disaster loss data can be very useful because with increased understanding of the disaster trends and their impacts, better prevention, mitigation and preparedness measures can be planned to reduce the impact of disasters on the communities. In the common goal of reducing the risk of forthcoming disasters, legislation, initiatives, documents and frameworks at national, European and international level have been produced during the last decades to find common targets and set milestones. In Europe the “Floods Directive” 2007/60/EC (FD) require Member States to develop, among others, a Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment – PFRA. To support the PFRA, in Italy was conceived the FloodCat flood events catalogue (Flood Catalogue) which is a web-GIS platform created by the Department of Civil Protection to allow the systematic collection of information on past flood events. In this study a comparison is made between FloodCat and some selected international, European and national level frameworks, documents, directives and databases in order to see how much FloodCat is in line with similar initiatives in the Disaster Risk Reduction field. The state of emergency in Italy have been investigated in a holistic manner starting from alerting procedures to the declaration of the state of emergency and state of natural calamity till the damage compensation by the state administration. The implementation of FloodCat system in Marche Region as a pilot region for FloodCat test, use, improvement and optimisation have been described in detail.
