2. Mandate of the National
Civil Protection System
The National Civil Protection System aims to
safeguard human life and health, goods,
national heritage, human settlements and
environment from all natural or man-made
disasters.
It deals with:
Forecasting and Warning;
Prevention and Mitigation;
Rescue and Assistance ;
Emergency overcoming.

the Presidency of the Council
(DPCM 27.02.2004)
Operational directives for the organization and the functional management of national and regional alert systems
for hydro-geological and hydraulic risk.

6. FUNCTIONAL Centres
The managing of the national
alerting system is provided by DPC,
by the Regions and by the
autonomous Provinces through the
Network of the Functional
Centres, as well as by the regional
offices and the Competence
Centres, which host functionally
and operatively support this network

8. Functional and Competence
Centres
The network of the FUNCTIONAL CENTRES must collect,
concentrate and integrate:
Qualitative and quantitative data of the monitoring ground
network and satellite platforms for earth observation;
Cartographic data;
Non instrumental Information drawn from territorial
structures.
Modeling events and effects on population, goods and
environment;
Network of the COMPETENCE CENTRES
Competence Centres are operational and/or research
organizations. They support the Italian Civil Protection
Department in developing, testing and improving
technologies and policies for the mitigation of the social
impact of hazards. They operate upon contracts in the
specific field of competence
9. Functional and Competence
Centres
CIMA Foundation is the Competence Centre for
the forecast and the prevention of hydrologic,
hydraulic and wild fire risk.
In 2001 we projected the Functional Centre
Network and its early warning system
10. In the operational room we test advanced tools for natural
hazard management, in particular for flood and forest fire.
The prototype of operational rooms as experimental
laboratory for Functional Centre Network
11. All the hydrometeorological information are
collected in real time to the Operational Room.
Scientists enforce research activities to bring up-
to-date the scenarios and technological upgrading
of operational procedures, of sensing and
computational tools, of validation procedures and
of the probability of floods, landslides and fires.
