PAVIA – Between Tuesday 25 June and Wednesday 3 July one will leave new series of tests of the IT-alert public alarm system in LombardyFriuli Venezia Giulia and in the Autonomous Province of Trento.
The new tests, similarly to those held in recent months, are designed for the specific risks they will involve also the province of Pavia, as well as those of Lodi, Milan and Bergamo in Lombardy. In all these territories a significant industrial accident will be simulated.
Holding periodic tests in the area is useful on the one hand to perfect the technological infrastructure, and on the other to increase awareness of the risks among the population. As in the case of previous tests, whoever receives the test message has nothing to fear, and will not have to do anything except read the message, which refers to the web page of the IT-alert site where it will be possible to view the text of the real message that the citizens would receive in the event of an alarm for that specific risk. On the page there will also be a link to the questionnaire, which both those who have correctly received the message and those who, despite being in the test area, have not received the notification are invited to answer.
All information on the IT-alert system and the complete calendar of scheduled tests are available on the IT-alert.gov.it website.
The dates of the tests could be subject to variations in the event that the regional civil protection systems find themselves engaged in activities due to any weather-hydro alerts in progress or for emergency situations.
