Exploring too much water related to community resilience: two Italian case studies. Sardinia flooding in November 2013 and Genoa flooding in October 2014

Two dramatic Italian floods took place around the Sardinia town of Olbia on 17-19 November 2013 and in Genoa on 9-10 October 2014. These are two interesting case studies on floods due to their specific social impact, crisis communication, disaster management and disaster resilience practices, taking into account their different geographical areas, communities and institutional systems. A secondary data analysis of these two critical events has been conducted considering the theoretical principles of visual sociology, while a methodological framework has been adopted according to the principles of the secondary data analysis itself.
