The ASI-SRV(Sistema Rischio Vulcanico) project
started at the beginning of the 2007 is funded by the Italian
Space Agency (ASI) in the frame of the National Space Plan
2003-2005 under the Earth Observations section for natural
risks management. Coordinated by the Istituto Nazionale di
Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), which is responsible at national
level for the volcanic monitoring, the project has as main
objective to develop a pre-operative system based on EO data
and ground measurements integration to support the volcanic
risk monitoring of the Italian Civil Protection Department. The
project philosophy is to implement specific modules which allow
to process, store and visualize through Web GIS tools EO derived
parameters considering three activity phases: 1) knowledge and
prevention; 2) crisis; 3) post crisis. In order to combine
effectively the EO data and the ground networks measurements
the system will implement a multi-parametric analysis tool,
which represents and unique tool to analyze contemporaneously
a large data set of data in “near real time”. The SRV project will
be tested his operational capabilities on three Italian Volcanoes:
Etna,Vesuvio and Campi Flegrei.
