Looking at ways to overcome those problems, the Eu funded Armonia project aimed at connecting experts with various backgrounds, achieving some interesting results: a state of art of current planning practices in hazardous zones in some european countries; a method to link risk assessment to land use and location choices, applied on the Arno river basin, selected as the project test area.
