This work shows the capabilities of InSAR time series analyses to support civil protection activities in the framework of geological risk management and mitigation. We discuss the outcomes from an integrated analysis of conventional in situ investigations and observations with advanced InSAR analyses carried out for the test sites of Agrigento and Naro (Italy), affected by ground instability respectively due to landsliding and tectonic forces. The study of past ground deformations provided valuable insights into the spatial and temporal patterns and behaviors of these phenomena, helping local civil protection authorities to focus resources on the areas of maximum need and to identify the most appropriate mitigation measures to reduce the impacts on elements at risk.
