  6. Civil Protection structure : Sistema ItaliaStructure based on the national administrative organization Gouvernment ↔ Dipartimento Nazionale Protezione Civile  ↨ Central Headquarter in Rome - h24 ↨ Region Headquarters n° 20 - h24 ↨ Province Headquarters n° 110 - h24 ↨ Municipalities n° 8100

Leave from the job with salary during emergencies and training activities • 2. Insurance • 3. Financial support for teams • 4. Costs refund

  8. EMERGENCIES TYPES AND CHARACTERISTICS LEVELS •   Type A : Local      •   Type B : Regional    •   Type C : National CHARACTERISTICS • Natural emergencies : plans prepared in advance • Special evenements : studied with a certain time notice • Terrorysm : only a general preparation

  9. EMERGENCIES TYPE C Structure activated • National volunteers groups • C.M.R. • Dipartimento fixed structures On the territory • Creation of DI.COMA.C and CCS • Activations of COM ( Municipalities emergencies structures) • Local areas set up for population

  10. ABRUZZO EARTHQUAKE CHARACTERISTICS • Municipalities : 72 • Population : 70.000 • Structure of territory :mountains with several lateral valleys • DI.COMA.C : Aquila • C.C.S. : Pescara • C.O.M. : 7 • Areas : 42 with 3.289 tents • Field kitchens : 24 • P.M.A. : 16 (advanced healt structures) • People homeless : 19.734 • Peoples death : ab. 309 • Volunteers : people involved by shift 440.000

  12. ACTUAL SITUATION ANALYSIS The actual structure of national radioamateurs association can support only the local emergencies with a certain time notice. For national emergencies is absolutely inadequate for the following reasons • Way and activation time inadequate • It doesn’t existe a data base of ham available to partecipate with detailed characteristics • Operating on emergency is very different than at home • Lack of training for logistic preparation • Lack of training for psychological aspects on the emergency • Lack of preparation for being a part of a Civil Protection system

  13. SUGGESTIONS FOR ITALY • To create a radioamateurs structure dedicated only to emergency support,included on voluntary roll at each levels,municipalities,provinces,regions and with national Department • To have a detailed and up-dated data base for volunteers availability • To arrange a specific training for radioemergencies communications,NVIS techniques,wi-fi ,satellites ,digitals(Pactor!) • To arrange a specific training for psycological and logistics aspects,including teams working in international missions
