"Ours is an extraordinarily beautiful but fragile country. Climate changes and torrential rain cause enormous damage," says engineer Angelo Domenico Perrini.

He spoke at the first National Day of Prevention and Mitigation of Hydrogeological Risk. The professionals' initiative took place at the Acquarioromano in the capital. It was attended by, among others, the ministers of infrastructure and civil protection Matteo Salvini and Nello Musumeci and the head of the civil protection department Fabrizio Curcio. The day is intended to be an annual event, says the National Council of Engineers president. It is "no longer a problem of resources but rather an organizational problem," he says, urging the initiation of "adequate planning" for the country's hydrogeological risk. The event was organized by his National Council and together with that of geologists, whose president Arcangelo Francesco Violo spoke of a day, "which we plan to make an annual event."
