NEWS addresses the problem of mitigating the sea risks caused by erosion and due to both natural and anthropic factors

The project carries out an integrated system of monitoring and adaptation to the risks coming from the sea, with the aim of indicating to the population with adequate advance the possibility of flooding, erosion of sandy shores and collapse of cliffs and to activate safeguard measures to avoid damage to the people

Expected Results:

5000 Sq Kms of coastal area covered by an integrated monitoring system for the reduction of natural risks linked to the wave motion action and its effects on the coasts

NEWS project aims to give a proper solution to the problem of mitigating the sea risks

Project activities will realize:

1 Network of wavemeter buoy for the wave motion monitoring

1 Network fir the areal monitoring constituted by Radar HF SeaSonde stations for surface mainstream monitoring

1 oastal monitoring system composed of a Drone equipped with LIDAR, HD camera and GPS system  5.000 sq. kms area covered by an alert informatic system, emergency intervention and assistance to the population

1 Informative app on the usability of the coastal sections and of the Sicilian Channel

70 sq. kms of area covered by monitoring systems, early warning and catastrophes from the sea risk adaptation
