Multiple Damaging Hydrological Events (MDHE, Petrucci & Polemio, 2003) are rapidly developing into deluges, flashfloods, floods, mudflows, accelerated erosion, and landslides (Kar & Hodgson, 2008; Younis et al., 2008), with tragic consequences on the viable habitat for humankind and ecosystems, and agriculture (Clarke & Rendell, 2005). In this context, MDHE could have more impact than the frequently cited hazard of global warming due to intensification of the hydrological cycle and the concentration of rainfall in sporadicbut more intense events (Allen & Ingram, 2002). There is, in fact, evidence available from different parts of the world of a rising trend of natural disasters since 1993 (Sivakumar, 2005), included Medietarrean basin (Diodato & Bellocchi, 2010). For Southern Italy, in particular, the catstrophic events of Sarno in 1998 (Mazzarella & Diodato, 2002), with the more recent devastating deluges in Naples in 2001, 2003, 2004, 2006, and in southeastern of Sicily in 2009, were caused by extremes rain of 100400 mm fallen in few hours over little areas. Therefore, global vision in remote sensing coverage and surveillance loop are important, since we do not know where an event might take place (Bacon et al., 2008). However, estimating rainfall from satellite imagery is rather complex (Ymeti, 2007), and due to limited success of deterministic rainstorm impact modelling techniques (Heneker et al., 2001).
