The collapse of a dam, a major industrial accident and a nuclear accident beyond the borders of Italy:
these are the three emergencies that will be simulated, between the end of January and the beginning of February, for the new tests of It Alert,
the of public alarm that our country is equipping itself with.
The tests, underlines the Department of Civil Protection, will affect limited portions of territory, based on the simulated risk scenario, in Valle d'Aosta, Piedmont, the Autonomous Province of Bolzano, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Emilia-Romagna, Liguria, Tuscany, Lazio , Abruzzo, Campania, Basilicata, Calabria, Sicily and Sardinia.
As already happened during the previous tests, whoever receives the message will have nothing to fear and will not have to do anything except read the message which refers to the web page of the IT-alert site, where it will be possible to view the text of the real message that the citizens would receive in the event of an alarm for that specific risk.
The dates of the tests, the Civil Protection still reminds us, could be subject to variations in the event that there were any meteorological-hydro alerts or emergency situations in progress.
