Objective
Design, realization and implementation
of cost-effective, operating, lasting
integrated systems in highly
industrialized areas for:
– monitoring and management of
environmental emergencies:
industrial accident and air
pollution and)
– information exchange concerning
industrial risk, air, water, soil,
networked with the major existing
Italian risk areas.
– the planning and management
of emergencies associated with
industrial accidents or
transportation of dangerous
goods

Transport of dangerous goods
Call for tender: realisation and
installation of a pilot system for the
control of hazardous goods transport
in the Italian provinces of Brindisi,
Taranto and Venice
Transport Control
Centre - National

•
Objectives:
to monitor, in a near real-time manner,
the transportation of hazardous goods
in Italy, in particular in the three
industrial areas of Brindisi, Taranto
entering
and Porto Marghera,
local area
to monitor and control the risk posed
by their transportation,
to provide early warnings in case of
emergency associated with these
goods and
to support to the management of the
transportation hazardous goods in
case of emergency.

Emergency Management System
(EMS)
• Objective
– provide support to the relevant institutional bodies for the
management of emergencies associated with industrial
accidents and transportation by road of dangerous
substances
• High-level requirements
– compatible with procedures of Civil Protection Authorities
– installed physically close-by the official Emergency Rooms
– covers the standby, pre-alarm and alarm stages, and also
training and post-emergency analysis activities
– integrates analytical methods and tools recognized by
Italian authorities
– connected functionally with environmental network,
camera management and fleet management systems

HARIA-2*, a Methodology for
Emergency Planning
(supported by the National Research Council under the sponsorship of the Italian Civil
Protection Department).
AIM OF HARIA-2 (1998-2002):
modeling and simulation of dynamic systems interacting
during a severe accident in chemical and petrochemical
industries:
•
•
•
•
Physical System: accidents that could impact the
surrounding environment
Territorial and Social System: population and other targets
that could be affected by the accident
Civil Protection System: rescue services and resources
available for consequence mitigation
Output of the project:
a set of models and tools for the analysis and optimization of
emergency plans
