Resumen: This review focuses on the Italian civil protection system and its means to prepare for and react to earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, landslides and volcanoes. The Italian National Civil Protection Service can rapidly mobilize operational resources for emergency management and recovery both at home, throughout Europe and around the world. Its components constantly research known hazards to better understand and model vulnerabilities, while technical experts cooperate in real time to monitor events as they unfold and operate the early warning systems. These professionals are supported by a highly organized and motivated volunteer service unseen elsewhere in OECD countries. What makes these many parts of the civil protection system work as one effective whole, however, is its governance structure under the direct authority of the Italian Prime Minister. Recent years have seen a steep increase in the frequency and economic impacts of disasters, and Italy has been no exception; in addition to increased seasonal variance linked to climate change, the devastating earthquakes around L'Aquilla in 2009 make Italy a case study for policy-makers, emergency management practitioners, academics and international organizations who are searching for solutions, notably in the areas of disaster damage reduction policies. The Italian civil protection system offers a rich source of best practices for their consideration. The National Department of Civil Protection in particular, as the hub of the National Civil Protection Service, provides a model of professionalism and leadership. The review report also identifies many challenges facing the Italian civil protection system and areas where improvements are still needed.--Publisher's description
