Abstract The Verdarel torrent is located in the lower portion of the Guisane valley, near the city of Briançon. Since the Nineteen-Sixties, the development of the Serre-Chevalier mountain resort has induced a rapid growth of the municipality of St-Chaffrey. On July 9th 1981, the new buildings on the alluvial fan of the Verdarel were partly devastated by a channelled debris flow. Since that day, the civil authorities have undertaken a torrent correction policy, which has rapidly contributed to restore a sense of security among the population. Urban development has also resumed. In 1997, a hazard simulation experiment performed on a scale model showed that the protection system was incapable of containing a debris flow with a volume of 40,000...
