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.
Directive of 27 February2004 of
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.”

ORDINARY OPERATIVITY
Forecast activity and emergency actions
DCP coordinates the regional and local civil protection structures
DCP provides the guidelines and collaborates with Regional
authorities and scientific research Centres
DPCM 27.02.2004 Functions, tasks and organization of Functional and competence Centres
FORECAST PHASE MONITORING and SURVEILLANCE PHASE
Data assimilation and/or forecast running
Event scenario forecast
Criticality level evaluation
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

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
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
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
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.
