This document discusses the integration of Earth observation data into Italy's civil protection system. It describes how satellite data is used for monitoring landslides and ground deformation throughout the different phases of the emergency cycle, including prevention, emergency response, and recovery. Specific examples are provided of how satellite imagery and radar data detected ground movements during landslide events in Messina, Sicily in 2009 and 2010 and how the data was used by various government agencies. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of collaboration between different authorities and partners to optimize the use of space-based information for emergency management.
