Civil Protection: the table of weather, hydrogeological and hydraulic alerts and critical situations

The table of weather, hydrogeological and hydraulic alerts and critical situations is contained in the first annex to the Operational Guidelines signed by the Head of the Civil Protection Department on 10 February 2016. The table describes, for each severity/alert level – broken down by type of risk (hydrogeological, hydraulic and thunderstorms) – the expected event scenarios across the country and the possible associated effects and damage. In particular, for the risk of thunderstorms, the highest expected alert level is orange. A red alert is issued, however, for the hydrogeological risk. Each colour corresponds to different hazard situations: HERE’S WHAT THEY ARE.
