National Police

In Iceland, since 2008, there has been a centralisation and coordination of forces and resources needed to protect the population and civil security. Duties in the fi eld of civil protection at the national level are delegated to the National Police Chief, who acts in accordance with the government’s policy of civil protection and security. The system’s reliability has been achieved thanks to the close cooperation of offi cials from many levels of government and self-government administration, which is overseen by the National Police Chief.

Abstract. Calabria (southern Italy) is a flood prone region, due to both its rough orography and fast hydrologic response of most watersheds. During the rainy season, intense rain affects the region, triggering floods and mass movements that cause economic damage and fatalities. This work presents a methodological approach to perform the comparative analysis of two events affecting the same area at a distance of 15 years, by collecting all the qualitative and quantitative features useful to describe both rain and damage. The aim is to understand if similar meteorological events affecting the same area can have different outcomes in terms of damage. The first event occurred between 8 and 10 September 2000, damaged 109 out of 409 municipalities of the region and killed 13 people in a campsite due to a flood. The second event, which occurred between 30 October and 1 November 2015, damaged 79 municipalities, and killed a man due to a flood. The comparative analysis highlights that, despite the exceptionality of triggering daily rain was higher in the 2015 event, the damage caused by the 2000 event to both infrastructures and belongings was higher, and it was strongly increased due to the 13 flood victims. We concluded that, in the 2015 event, the management of pre-event phases, with the issuing of meteorological alert, and the emergency management, with the preventive evacuation of people in hazardous situations due to landslides or floods, contributed to reduce the number of victims.

The impressive development of wearable computing and augmented/mixed reality technologies that has been occurring in recent years allows for devising ICT systems that can bring a disruptive innovation in how emergency medical operations take place. In this paper the authors describe first explorations in that direction, represented by a distributed collaborative system called SAFE (Smart Augmented Field for Emergency) for teams of rescuers and operators involved in a rescue mission. SAFE is based on the integration of wearable computing and augmented reality technologies with intelligent agents and multi-agent systems.

Abstract. Diffuse and severe slope instabilities affected the whole Veneto region (Northeast Italy) between October 31st and November 2nd 2010, following a period of heavy and persistent rainfall. In this context on November 4th 2010 a large detrital mass detached from the cover of the Mt. Rotolon Deep Seated Gravitational Slope Deformation (DSGSD), located in the upper Agno River Valley, channelizing within the Rotolon Creek riverbed and evolving into a highly mobile debris flow. The latter phenomena damaged many hydraulic works, also putting at high risk bridges, local roads, together with population of the Maltaure, Turcati and Parlati villages located along the creek banks and of the Recoaro Terme town. Starting from the beginning of the emergency phase, the Civil Protection system was activated, involving the National Civil Protection Department, Veneto Region, and local administrations personnel and technicians, as well as scientific institutions. On December 8th 2010 a local scale monitoring system, based on a Ground Based Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (GB-InSAR), was implemented in order to evaluate the slope deformation pattern evolution in correspondence of the debris flow detachment sector, with the final aim of assessing the landslide residual risk and manage the emergency phase. This paper describes the outcomes of a two years GB-InSAR monitoring campaign (December 2010–December 2012), its application for monitoring, mapping, and emergency management activities, in order to provide a rapid and easy communication of the results to the involved technicians and civil protection personnel, for a better understanding of the landslide phenomena and decision making process in a critical landslide scenario.

The article describes the contents of the concepts of independent training and official training of the personnel of the units of the Operative and Rescue Service of Civil Protection of Ukraine, describes the practical component of their professional training directly in the units. It is established that the main types of occupations in the system of official training are lectures, seminars, practical classes, tactical-special trainings, control and testing classes. Types of practical training of rescuers are characterized: practical workout of training exercises (exercises and standards on special physical training), working out and correction of documents of operative response (plans, cards), operative-tactical study of service area and objects, solving tactical tasks, night test tactical tasks training, fire and emergency management, tactical training.At the same time, there is a contradiction between the increased level of requirements for the preparedness of rescuers in modern conditions and the traditional system of their professional training, which does not take into account changes in the extension and complication of professional tasks.
