1 PURPOSE
In this document, the requirement specifications and scenario of the Pilot application will be defined. The procedures and instrumentation used for the prevention, monitoring and emergency management will be therefore described; an analysis of the critical issues, during emergency management, will be carried out in order to define the users need that will be addressed by C2-SENSE project. Also the current application landscape will be taken into account in order to better describe the current situation in which emergencies are handled. At the end a scenario will be depicted for testing and evaluation of the components of the C2-SENSE project.
2 CURRENT USERS OPERATION CHARACTERISTICS In this chapter will be analyzed and described the following items:i)Relationships with other operational centers during the management of an emergency; ii) Operational procedures used in emergency management, iii) Organization of rescue and response teams; iv) Relationship with other support centers such as health care organizations and municipalities; v) Legislative and regulatory framework.
2.1 National Model for Emergency
In order to better understan the activities carried out by the Civil Protection Service of the Region of Puglia, it is appropriate to recall the contents of the "Operational guidelines for the management of emergencies" (Directive of the President of the Council of Ministers on 3 December 2008) governing the management of the information flow between the different structures involved, the activation and coordination of members of the national Service of civil Protection and the description of the organizational model for the emergency management. The above operational guidelines include the need of information exchange in real time between the different components and operating structures of civil protection and the capacity of the local system to deal with the emergency. At the Department of the national civil protection is available a coordination center, called “Sistema”, which collects, verifies and disseminates information, with the aim to alert and activate the different components and structures responsible for emergency management. For this purpose, the different Operating Rooms Halls (State, Regions, Provinces and Prefectures) give immediate notice of the information system progressively in its possession. The unified management of emergency operations is to be coordinated by CCS (Assistance Coordination Center) at a provincial level, according to the model adopted by each Region. In Puglia, the CCS is headed to the Prefectures territorially competent. The Integrated Regional Operations Centre (SOIR) ensure emergency operations and ensures H24 service to update the information related to the activities carried out, the type and amount of resources needed and to keep connection with the operation centers activated at provincial and municipal level. The Regional Law No. 7 of 10.03.2014 ("Regional system of civil protection") provides for the institution of a Regional Emergency Operations Committee (COREM) as a tool to ensure technical and operational coordination of regional activities necessary to cope events of national and regional importance. At regional level, the region affected by the event ensures the activation of the mobile column and voluntary organizations, the management of emergency health care and the presence of technicians for damage detection activities, the evaluation of residual risk and other technical activities. The Region also ensures its participation in the activities of the CCS, the management of the radio networks and voluntary civil protection.

2.2 The model for regional warning system of civil protection for the weather, water and hydro-geological risk, and for monitoring the current event Puglia Region, with Deliberation of the Regional Council (DGR) n ° 2181 of 26/11/2013, entitled "Operational guidelines for managing organizational and functional system of alerting the national, state and regional about hydrogeological and plumbing risk for the civil protection purpose", has transposed the Directive of the President of the Council of Ministers of 27 February 2004 (hereinafter the Directive). The Deliberation defines the different levels of the institutional and territorial organizations involved in procedures for prediction and risk prevention and emergency management. Article. 3-bis of national Law N°. 100 of July 12, 2012 "Urgent provisions for the reorganization of civil protection provides that the management of the national alert system shall be provided by the Department of Civil Protection and Regions, through the network of Functional Centres and the Distributed National Weather Service. In particular, the main task of the Functional Center is to develop a whole range of data and information, to support the competent authorities for alert and hydrogeological and hydraulic emergency management. With D.G.R. No. 255 of 7 March 2005, the Region has prepared the "Guidelines for the emergency planning in civil protection" by specifying the roles, functions and responsibilities of the organizations involved in response activities in support of the populations affected by the events adverse. Following the Ordinance of the President of the Council of Ministers No. 3606 of 28 August 2007, the Department of Civil Protection (DPC) has developed the "Operating Manual for the preparation of a plan or inter-municipal civil protection", which provides the guidelines for the definition of risk scenarios on the municipal territory and the corresponding intervention models, also with reference to the events hydrological and hydraulic. The Fig. 3 gives a schematic diagram summarizing the information flows related to the phase of alert.

Fig. 3 Flow of information
2.3 Operating structures of service civil protection (operational topics)
The operating structures of the Civil Service protection are the Integrated Regional Operations Room (SOIR), and the Functional Decentralized Center (CFD). The Regional Emergency Operations Committee (COREM), contributes to technical and operational coordination of regional activities necessary to deal with emergencies of national or regional significance.
Integrated Regional Operations Centre (SOIR)
The Integrated Regional Operations Centre (SOIR) annexed to the Regional Operative Centre (COR), of which the DGR No. 1762 of 23 September 2008, held, within the Regional Civil Protection Service, coordination and emergency management activities with reference to all the risks that may affect the region.
With regard to the hydrological and hydraulic risk it assumes the following functions: • ensures the exchange of information with the Italian Situation Room with all operational structures of civil protection (municipalities, prefectures, provinces, etc.).
• Prepares and disseminates alert messages; ; • receives updates on the situation from the CFD-pluvio hydrometric in place, carried out through the network of monitoring telemetry; • inform the officials on duty CFD any information received from the territory during the evolution of the phenomenon in action;
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 10/109
• communicate promptly any indication of critical aspects in place on the territory of the Service Manager and the CFD.
Decentralized Functional Centre (CFD) :
The Decentralized Functional Center for Puglia is part of the network of Functional Centres for purposes of civil protection network (CF). This refers to the network of centers to support the decisions of the competent authorities for the alert and emergency management. For the purposes of the functions and tasks of evaluation and decision-making and the resulting assumptions of liability, the network consists of Functional Centres Functional Centres, Regional or Decentralized and a Functional Centre or Central State at the Department of Civil Protection. The network of Functional Centers operates according to the criteria, methods, standards and procedures and is a member of the National Service of Civil Protection. The service provided by the network, under the management of the national warning system for landslide risk and plumbing, is divided into two phases: the prediction of the nature and intensity of weather events expected, the impact of the occurrence of these events could result in the territory, and step for monitoring and surveillance of the territory.
Specifically, the structure is responsible to organize and process the data and information of a meteo- climatic, hydrologic and hydraulic detected by monitoring stations in the area, or those located along the river network surface and underground that goes from the basin of the river Candelaro to that side of the river, including the inter-basin of the river Ofanto, in order to disseminate them to the users of public and / or private persons who request them. The Facility shall ensure maximum dissemination of the data collected by monitoring stations with the publication of the Hydrological Yearbooks (Part I and II) and via the web portal of the Regional Civil Protection Service (www.protezionecivile.puglia.it).
The structure is also engaged in the study, survey and analysis of the physical phenomena, in order to make available the data obtained for hydrological models and forecasts to support the design of hydraulic structures of utilization of water resources and defense from the risks induced by extreme events.
The CFD has furthermore set up a platform that enables real-time, of: • acquisition data of the thermo-pluvio-hydrometric stations in the Apulia region and the neighboring areas of interest; • acquire the series of weather prediction models provided by the DPC-CFN; • acquire data on the levels of the reservoir Occhito on F. Fortore (data transmitted by the land reclamation Consortium of Capitanata); • validate and process all the data and prepare the input of numerical simulations; • prepare and run the simulations automatically; • view and publish the results of the simulations, highlighting critical situations; • allow you to perform additional scenario simulations related to different modes of management of the reservoir.
The monitoring and surveillance phase is accomplished through the qualitative and quantitative observation, direct and instrumental meteorological hydrological event taking place. The acquisition of data collected through the instrument networks, the network radarmeteorologica national, the various satellite platforms available for earth observation, supplemented by the news is not instrumental, found locally by properly trained operators (Deans territorial), allows a short-term forecasting of the effects of going through the weather nowcasting and / or the use of rainfall-runoff models initialized from measurements collected in real time (when operating in real-time even on a trial basis). For nowcasting means the weather forecast in the very short term (up to 6 hours ahead) and on a small spatial scale. It
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 11/109
consists in the extrapolation of the displacement and stage of development (growth, dissolution) of structures localized weather (thunderstorms) obtained from the integrated analysis of the observational data point, and radar and satellite channels.
This phase is a prerequisite for: - Make available information necessary for the formulation of new scenarios of critical situations, or update the projected scenarios based on the evolution of the event taking place, and check the level of critical aspects, existing and planned, through the comparison of measured values with thresholds adopted and / or communicated with any news from the territory; - Act as a decision support for all the structures in charge of decision-making and operational activities in the field of civil protection (Operations Room of the Regional Civil Protection, UTG prefectures, provinces and municipalities) in order to mitigate the impact on the regional territory of adverse weather events through the acquisition and processing of data collected in real time by monitoring stations.
The analysis and study, delayed in time, is a description of weather-pluvio-hydrometric event concluded, on the basis of the comparison between the available historical data and instrumental findings regarding the affected area, and taking due account any communications received from the territory of the effects observed on the ground. For events of particular importance in relation to the phenomenology and the damage caused, analyzes, assessments and information gathered about are summarized in an event report.
Regional Emergency Operations Committee (COREM)
The Regional Law No. 7 of 10.03.2014 ("Regional system of civil protection") provides for the establishment of the Regional Emergency Operations Committee (COREM) as a tool to ensure millet technical and operational coordination of regional activities necessary to cope events of regional importance (under article 2, paragraph 1, lett. b) of Law 225/1992), as well as the regional technical competition in the case of events of national importance (under article 2, paragraph 1, lett. c) of Law 225/1992). The COREM is activated by the Director of the Civil Protection Service at the time of the occurrence of natural disasters in the configuration that more properly suited to the management of the particular situation. The COREM is composed of representatives of regional technical departments responsible for public works, environment and forests, regional coordination structures of the Fire Department, the State Forestry Corps and the Harbour, the regional health system, the associations of volunteer of the Red Cross and the Body of mountain rescue and caving.
2.4 Regional operating centers The Directive of the President of the Council of Ministers of 27 February 2004, entitled "Operational guidelines for the management of organizational and functional system of alerting the national, state and regional hydrogeological risk for the purposes of civil protection", defines "territorial protection" with reference to hydrogeological/hydraulic risk. The above Directive in the context of the more general problem of "government of the floods," predicts that Regions should contribute through forecasting, monitoring and surveillance (to be carried by the Centers Functional) of territorial sourveillance and management of the outflows of artificial reservoirs. In particular, the Directive, Art. 5, provides that the regions, provinces and municipalities to promote and organize, in areas at high (R3) and very high (R4) risk, the activities of observation and monitoring areas prone to landslide and / or flooding, and appropriate actions of contrast in real time, ie primary care and not structural prevention. The need to provide as part of contingency planning the territorial surveillance is also confirmed by the Law 100/2012 (Article 3 bis). Such activities, to be carried out at different territorial levels (regional, provincial and municipal), play an important role of technical support for the decision makers in the implementation of measures to safeguard the public
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 12/109
and private safety. The activities of territorial defense contribute to monitoring activities carried out by CFD. With specifically regard to the activities of territorial surveillance, the Directive refers mainly those of observational and instrumental monitoring in real time (regulated by RD n ° 523/1904 and the R.D. n ° 2669/1937), to be extended to the the entire drainage network of the basin. The Directive therefore hopes that the full service and emergency surveillance is to form part of a more general task of territorial defense plumber, also in compliance with regional laws in the field of civil protection and use of soil and water. The Sourveillance Presidium, to be extended to areas classified as high and very high landslide risk and the relevant hydraulic hydrographic network carries out (see again the Directive to Step 5) the following activities: a) detection, at predetermined time, the water levels of the river gauges to regulators, in order to detect the level of critical aspects of the event fully in place; b) Monitoring and controlling the state of the embankments, if any, and recognition of potentially flood-prone areas, especially to locations defined previously hydraulically critical aspect, in order to detect situations impediment to the free flow of water; c) Emergency hydraulic intervention.
The surveillance activities, preferably to organize, as advocated by the same Directive, in provincial territories, refer to different expertise within the region, in particular due to: 1) Provincial Administrations, with regard to the activities of full service referred to in point b) and those referred to in point a) corresponding to sections of the river network; 2) Technical Structure of Coordination (former Civil Engineers Regional Offices), which authorities hydraulic respect to the activities referred to in paragraph c); 3) Basin Authority of Apulia with respect to the performance functional coordination of police services hydraulic, flood and emergency plumbing; 4) the municipal government with reference to the issues that most directly affect the hydraulic own territory, for the implementation of the measures foreseen in the emergency plans; 5) Managing Bords of transport infrastructure networks that interfere with the drainage network, for the implementation of the measures provided in their management plans.
The Regional Civil Protection, for the purpose of an effective definition of the scenarios in the course of events, has an interest in sharing information acquired as part of the activities of territorial surveillance, also to integrate the information obtained from the CFD in time real through the network of hydrometric monitoring in telemetry.
The need to establish and regulate the activities of the Territorial sourveillance, is also expressed by Law no. 100 of 12 July 2012, art3-bis, according to which the territorial contributes functionally and operationally to the Government and management of the national alert system provided by the Department of Civil Protection and the Regions. The Directive 2007/60/EC on the assessment and management of flood risk, transposed into Italian law by Legislative Decree no. February 23, 2010 n. 49, also aims to draw up flood risk management plans by 2015. In particular, Article. 7, paragraph 5 provides that these plans include the territorial surveillance through appropriate structures and regional and provincial entities.
The Department of Civil Protection, in order to promote those activities, also in view of the strategic role that they play within alerting system, has set up a technical committee with all the Regions, in order to verify the organizational arrangements at the regional level.
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 13/109
2.5 Roles, tasks and activities of organs of Civil Protection in the regional area
The prediction of the critical scenarios and the possible alert, are carried out extensive geographical areas (zones of alert). It is not possible to forecast precise weather scenario - in terms of spatial location, timing, duration - and the consequent effects on the ground, the space-time evolution of the event monitored in real time may be different than envisioned and could then known, locally, with a severity level higher than the one formulated for the entire area of alert.
Although the spatial scale of the predictions / assessments is relatively large (each zone alert includes a significant number of municipalities), local authorities shall be informed of the possible occurrence of adverse weather events with an advance of about 24-48 hours. These times are sufficient to allow the organization of the local system of civil protection for the activation of the actions needed to cope with the weather and hydrological event prefigured already in advance, on the basis of the provisions contained in the plans of the municipal Civil Protection.
The effectiveness dell'allertamento is therefore dependent on the ability of the operating components of the System of Civil Protection to put in place actions to mitigate risks, as required by municipal emergency plans and supra-municipal, adapting themselves to the real conditions of risk, ie the critical issues identified in the area. Therefore it is required a high degree of attention, not only with respect to information submitted during the warning but, above all, with respect to the magnitude with which the event meteo-hydrological manifests in the area.
The duties and functions of the components of the regional system of civil protection are attributed with DGR No. 255 of 7 March 2005 "Memorandum of Understanding on regional guidelines for emergency planning in the field of Civil Protection" - and as provided for by Law 112/1992, 180/1990, 265/1989, 225/1992, 100/2012 and the "Operating Instructions for the preparation of a plan or inter-municipal civil protection", prepared pursuant to the Ordinance of the President of Council of Ministers 3606/2007.
The Prefectures UTG, the provinces and the municipalities, in case of issue of the Alert message by the Regional Civil Protection Service will be notified and will take place on a daily basis, along with forecasts and update of the current situation published by the CFD www.protezionecivile.puglia.it on the site.
2.6 Exchange of information
Exchange of information between CFD and SOIR
The exchange of information between CFD and SOIR is done electronically through the mutual sharing of information management tools used by the two structures. In particular, they are always visible to the CFD information obtained from SOIR progressively through continuous dialogue with the land and recorded on a "rough draft of the room", as they are visible to the processing SOIR conducted by CFD in terms of processing Bulletins update in the course of event.
The physical proximity of the two structures also ensure, where appropriate, an exchange of information "visually", particularly useful in the management of information particularly complex or in case of doubt and misunderstanding.
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 14/109
Exchange of information between CFD and CFN
The exchange of information between CFD and CFN regards the data acquired by the monitoring network pluvio thermo-hydrometric and updates of the scenarios in the course of event
Exchange of information between CFD-SOIR and CCS
The exchange of information between the operational structures of the Civil Protection Service and the outside world, in particular the Aid Coordination Centre (CCS) at the Prefectures territorially competent persons charged with unified management of interventions in emergency takes place via computer making use of the Internet by consulting the pages are constantly updated by the Civil Protection Service.
In case of necessity or for further clarification or misunderstanding, is activated telephone connection point-to-point connection between the officer of the Regional Civil Protection Service present at the CCS (or in his absence the referent of the Prefecture) and operational structures of the same service.
Exchange of information between SOIR and SYSTEM (DPC-ROMA)
The exchange of information between SOIR and SYSTEM is made by telephone.
3 REQUIRED IMPROVEMENT AND SPECIFICATIONS ANALYSIS In this chapter will be analyzed the critical aspects faced during emergency management.
3.1 Critical aspects
In relation to activities carried out by the Civil Protection Service of the Puglia region about the alert management, the ongoing monitoring and event management support for emergency meteorological, hydrological and hydraulic risk, as previously described, are identified some critical issues with respect to which possible solutions are proposed, compared to some of them, however, are already being targeted through specific initiatives. The flowchart below summarizes the main relationships between the structures involved in emergency management (subject to conditions of weather risk, hydrological and hydraulic) and the relative critical aspects.

Fig. 4 Relationship among structures in emergence
In particular, it is to focus on the following critical aspects constituents of different weight:
1. Reports of the CFD for the CFC on the evaluation of weather forecast on a regional scale The exchange of information between the CFN and the CFD currently provides for the transmission of the documents produced by the CFN (regional weather assessment, Bulletin of regional critical aspects, regional critical notice, notice of adverse weather conditions) to electronically through the platform DEWETRA.
The critical factor is the possibility of malfunction or interruption of the Internet.
Possible Solution: In case of malfunction or interruption of the Internet connection, you can always resort to the transmission through different network connection to the internet or fax. Another possibility of solving the problem may in the future be represented by the use of microwave radio network, when operating on a national scale.
2. Sharing network data monitoring rainfall-real-time hydrometric instrumental acquired by CFD with the CFN
The exchange of information is currently DEWETRA on the platform and through the shared display system at the national level X-GIANO
The critical factor is the possibility of malfunction or interruption of the Internet which, however, does not affect the activities of the CFD (which can continue to use data from their monitoring network), thus not only the ability to receive data from neighboring areas, outside the region (shown by the X-GIANO).
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 16/109
Possible Solution: In case of malfunction or interruption of the Internet connection, you can always resort to faxing. Another possibility of solving the problem may in the future be represented by the use of microwave radio network, when operating on a national scale.
3. Reports of CFD with the CFN on the update function of the scenarios in the course of event Currently the exchange of information between the CFD and the CFN on the update of event scenarios takes place electronically through consultation by the CFN update bulletin prepared by the CFD. The CFD is serviced by telephone lines and different internet network (alternatives, through two different managers).
The critical aspect consists in the possibility of malfunctions or interruptions of the internet network
Possible Solution: In case of malfunction or interruption of main Internet connection, you can always resort to the internet broadcast / phone and fax services to another provider. Another possibility of solving the problem may in the future be represented by the use of microwave radio network, when operating on a national scale.
4. Acquisition of rainfall-hydrometric monitoring network data in real time The rainfall-hydrometric data transmission telemetry is currently the case through a radio network owner and apparatus with data acquisition servers that are displayed and managed by the platform Winnet6. The data transmission network is constituted by a transmission system with 12 radio repeaters, provided transmission equipment redundant, distributed on the territory in such a way as to constitute two dorsal ring. In this way, any node can be reached from the center with a dual alternative route.
The critical aspect is possible malfunctions in the network, even in the region of adverse weather conditions (lightning that can hit repeaters and transmission facilities) and the difficulty of timely intervention with maintenance activities to restore.
Possible Solutions: Possible solutions consist of the integration of the existing radio network with microwave backbone, or in providing measurement stations of satellite data transmission system (a solution that has however considerable costs).
5. Reports of the CFD with the SOIR on the update function of the scenarios in the course of event Currently the exchange of information between CFD and SOIR on updating the scenarios in the course of events takes place through communication via computer through the intranet content of the bulletins update, followed by the interaction of the SOIR with the territory for the purpose acquisition of information "from the field".
The critical aspect is possible malfunctions in the intranet
Possible Solution: In case of malfunction or interruption of the Internet connection, you can always resort to faxing. The physical proximity of the two structures still allows a "face to face" dialogue.
6. Reports of the CFD and the SOIR with the relevant units, the acquisition of quantitative data in the course of the event (regional offices)
The acquisition of quantitative data from the region is expected to occur through the functions performed by the Deans territorial. These functions are divided in different scales in the region (regional levels with regard to information on specific significant points of interest of the
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 17/109
hydrographic network of the CFD for the preparation of scenarios for the evolution of flood; provincial regard to network infrastructure transportation, municipal regarding issues on a regional scale limited to urban and neighborhood).
The critical point is on the one hand in the forms of organization at various levels of activity of territorial defence, on the other efficacy data transmission.
Possible Solutions: Projects MODs Living Labs, and SINAPSI RUPAR WIRELESS (see Chap. 4) intend to give a partial answer to the critical aspect.
7. Relationships between SOIR and COREM In emergency situations, where is activated by the Regional Civil Protection Service, the SOIR COREM interact with each other by exchanging information held in order to ensure effective management of the emergency. Where activated at the Prefectures, the CCS make use of complex information available at the Civil Protection Service.
The critical factor is the lack of an adequate operational tool for interactive information sharing.
Possible Solutions: The project SINAPSI and what RUPAR WIRELESS intend to give a partial answer to the critical aspect.
8. Reports of the SOIR with the functions of civil protection of the local authorities (municipalities-provinces) The acquisition of information from the territory (local authorities, infrastructure managers, fire brigade, etc.). Currently takes place through the SOIR that "interrogates" the territory to set alert thresholds being exceeded at the municipal, or receives signals independently provided by the same territory. The findings are reported on the rough draft of the room, accessible in real time by the CFD.
The critical factor is the need to have more structured information, making use of computer support for adequate consultation and processing (including GIS).
Possible Solutions: The project SINAPSI and what RUPAR WIRELESS intend to give a partial answer to the critical aspect.
Another critical factor is the need to have staff 24 hours a day
Possible Solution: introduce early warning systems for remote personnel and sending data.
9. Reports of the SOIR with voluntary organizations of civil protection The activation of the voluntary associations of civil protection is carried out by the SOIR the occurrence of needs represented by the territory. The activities carried out by the Associations are recorded on a rough draft of the room and shared electronically with the CFD
The critical factor is the need to have more structured information, making use of computer support for adequate consultation and processing (including GIS).
Possible Solutions: The project SINAPSI and RUPAR WIRELESS intend to give partial answers to problems, through the possibility of SOIR to receive the continuous positioning of the means employed by the voluntary sector and other management applications.
10. Reports of the SOIR with CCS facilities devoted to emergency management (management of the health component, 118, the fire brigade, police, etc.).
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 18/109
The sharing of information between SOIR and CCS is currently in unstructured form by way of the representatives of the Civil Protection Service at CCS (if any) that update continuously the evolution of the phenomena via computer consulting the website of the Civil Protection Service , or talking by phone with SOIR and CFD
The critical factor is the lack of an adequate operational tool for interactive sharing of information.
Possible Solutions: The project SINAPSI and what RUPAR WIRELESS intend to give a partial answer to the critical aspect.
11. Reports of the SOIR with the Center for coordination at national level ("System"-DPC) The sharing of information between SOIR System and currently is normally done by telephone.
The critical factor is the lack of an adequate operational tool for interactive sharing of information.
Possible Solutions: the overcoming of the critical issues concerning the relationship SOIR-CCS allows you to overcome those concerned. In this regard, however, it is noted that the communications system should be in accordance with procedures established at national or international level (as opposed to those with CCS, to be arranged directly with the Prefectures).
For the purposes of the project C2 SENSE seem relevant issues related to the points 7, 8, 9, and 10. in which different institutional actors are involved in emergency management.
4 CURRENT APPLICATION LANDSCAPE
In this chapter will be analyzed and described the following items: i) Historic flood scenario, ii) Specific environmental conditions iii) Current Technological infrastructure (networks, sensors, hardware and software platform).
4.1 Weather, hydraulic and hydrogeological risks
Meteorological risk
The weather risk is related to the possibility that particular intensity of weather events have an impact on the territory that result in a hazard to the safety of the population and damage to property, infrastructure and activities. This type of events includes:
• thundery: these are phenomena in impulsive character, is able to free up a considerable amount of energy in a short time and in areas also very limited; typically occur with electrical activity (lightning) associated with intense precipitation (rain, hail or snow), strong winds, and sometimes tornadoes; • heavy snowfall, even at low altitude; • thermal anomalies (heat waves in the summer months, significant cold conditions and frost in the winter months);
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 19/109
•strong winds and storm surges.
The chance of thunderstorms is singular. Although all the phenomenology related to them is a potential risk is appropriate to distinguish between the pouring rain and the remaining manifestations of a phenomenon thunderstorm, based on the type of impact they have on the population and the territory. The storm, defined as precipitation of high intensity, it should be placed, for its effects, including scenarios of event-related localized hydrogeological risk, and all the related phenomenology (lightning, hail, gusty winds, etc..) is to be framed in scope of weather risk.
Hydrogeological Risk and Hydraulic
The hydrogeological risk corresponds to the effects induced on the territory of passing: critical levels rainfall along the sides; critical water levels in watercourses of a torrential character, and less in the lattice network of rainwater disposal towns. These effects can be summarized as follows:
• Soil erosion and landslides are common in the soil; • Localized flooding with or without transport of solid material; • flooding in urban centers;
The hydraulic risk corresponds to the effects of the territory by the exceeding of critical water levels along the main waterways in fluvial and torrential regime. The hydraulic risk considering the consequences induced by transfer phenomena of flood waves in the case of the valley and plains that are not contained within the bed or natural levees. The water invades the outer areas with natural riverbed quotas and variable speeds depending on the intensity of the phenomenon and the conditions of the terrain. These effects are representative of flood events.
It is good to point out that the warning is effective for those events considered predictable or those for which it is possible, also with a certain margin of error, do the forecast. The predictability of flooding is generally possible when they are linked to flood events affecting the rods of the main waterways. For the secondary watercourses, characterized by concentration time very short, the prediction of the flood is difficult and less reliable. Similarly, at present, can not be predicted with sufficient accuracy the rainfall events of short duration, which cover portions of land limited and that are critical aspects for the minor hydrographic network and sewerage. The events triggered by hydro-meteorological phenomena localized and intense, such as thunderstorms and rain showers are not the subject of a prediction, both spatial and temporal detail.
Furthermore, for the small spatial scales in the game, the same network monitoring hydro- rainfall, where possible integrated radar observation, may not be able to detect the occurrence of this type of events. As a result, the monitoring is carried out, as well as through a phase of instrumental monitoring, especially by non-instrumental activity (regional coverage), or observation of nature, which should bring immediate localization and territorial jurisdiction in the event place. It is also important to note that risk behaviors, such as employment or occasional diversion of riverside areas pertaining to water courses or areas directly affected by active landslides, involving exposure such that the warning system becomes inefficient.
4.2 The alert definition for the weather hydraulic and hydrogeological risk
Zone alert
The Zone Alert are made from areas where river basins are divided response characterized by
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 20/109
meteorological, hydrological and snow science homogeneous at the onset of risk. Throughout the country, 133 are identified areas of alert, demarcated taking into account the possible types of risk present and the evolution in space and time of the event and its effects. For the assessment of risk scenarios expected, the region has been divided into nine zones Alert (Fig. 5).

Possible scenarios and levels of critical aspects
We define event scenario evolution in space and time of the event only prefigured, expected and / or implemented. In each scenario can be associated with a severity level assigned as a function of the impact, in terms of damages and / or losses, that the event could potentially have on the population and on the goods. The critical step in the forecast are articulated on three levels which correspond to the default color codes: - ROUTINE - CODE YELLOW - MODERATE - CODE ORANGE - ELEVATED - CODE RED
Thresholds and criteria for the definition of the status of critical aspects
The CFD establishes the level of critical aspects of an expected event and / or act on the basis of a system of rainfall thresholds corresponding to different levels of critical aspects. These thresholds were determined, in the first application, using a probabilistic analysis of rainfall on the basis of predetermined return times: therefore will be subject to future adjustment depending on the availability of information regarding the effects found in the area. The values of rainfall threshold are divided into: • Forecast thresholds (set to scale zone alert);
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 22/109
• Event with thresholds Act (established at municipal level). Compared to the valence space of possible ground effects are distinguished: • areal rainfall thresholds, or significant hydraulic phenomena such as flooding of the main waterways; • timely rainfall thresholds, or significant phenomena of local-scale hydrogeological such landslides, erosion, flooding of the lattice minor flooding of urban centers. The rainfall thresholds were determined on the basis of three different levels of critical aspects, in accordance with the following matches: • CRITICAL ROUTINE - CODE YELLOW: precipitation with return period ≥ 2 years or intense phenomena, such as thunderstorms, of uncertain predictability; • CRITICAL MODERATE - CODE ORANGE: precipitation with return time ≥ 5 years; • CRITICAL HIGH - CODE RED: precipitation with return period ≥ 20 years. As regards the hydraulic risk, thresholds hydrometric have been defined, for the most part of the measurement stations. These are related to special event scenarios, then the different critical aspects levels, according to the following matches: • CRITICAL ROUTINE - CODE YELLOW: corresponds to the height of the full routine, which is the level equaled or exceeded by the annual maximum heights, check in the section ¾ of years of observation (duration 75%); • CRITICAL MODERATE - CODE ORANGE: corresponds to heights of flood return periods with 5 years ≤ Tr <20 years; • CRITICAL HIGH - CODE RED: corresponds to full height with return period T ≥ 20 years. The thresholds are defined as such in the state, representing a localized level of critical aspects, i.e. referring to a narrow section around the monitored; therefore, they will be subject to subsequent measurement (calibration) aimed to correlate the state of critical aspects of the riverbed in an appropriate upstream and downstream of the measurement section for the alert purpose. The critical levels shown are foreshadowed significant risk scenarios generated by the possible event scenarios.
The alert messages
The alert purpose is to inform the organizations and structures that make up the operating system of the Regional Civil Protection, in the different phases of the occurrence of adverse events or natural disasters, compared to situations of risk or potential disruption of varying degrees, for the purposes of activation of the different phases of the provincial and municipal emergency plans. Following the declaration of a state of critical ordinary aspects least on at least one zone alert, or the issuance of a Notice of regional critical part of the CFD, the Director of the Civil Protection Service takes note of the evaluation - adopting, where appropriate, Notification of any regional critical aspect - and prepares the drafting and issuing a warning message. The message contains a brief description of the expected weather phenomenon, the statement of the level of critical aspect of the risk scenario and the expected level of alert decreed for Zone alert, indicating the beginning and end of the phase of alert. The warning messages are of two types:
- Message Alert Meteorological Risk on scenarios related to adverse weather conditions, expressed as a Weather Alert;
- Message Alert Hydrogeological Risk and / or hydraulic.
The alert levels
In the forecast phase, the levels of critical aspects decreed by the CFD are matched the alert levels (Fig. 6) by the Civil Protection Service. The territorial components of the System of Civil Protection, received message alert, are activated according to the actions in their municipal or inter-municipal emergency plans and, possibly, in the provincial plans. These actions have to match in a flexible
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 23/109
manner to the states of alert decreed and depend on the type of phenomenon and the expected risk conditions present on the territory.
The model of early warning in case of weather risk a single stage:
• early warning for WEATHER RISK: is activated when the CFC issues a Notice Weather related phenomena such strong winds, storms, snow and ice. The model of early warning in case of landslide risk / Hydraulic consists of three phases, hereinafter briefly recalled. • Levels of alert for HYDROGEOLOGICAL / HYDRAULIC RISK: Early warning: it's activated in the event of critical ordinary Bulletin Weather with or without notice. a. Warning: it is active in the case of the issuance of the Notice of moderate critical aspects, the occurrence of a event with ordinary critical aspects and / or the worsening situation in the critical points of a torrential basins monitored in view of the territorial deans. b. Pre-alarm: activates in the event of a critical high note, in case of an event with moderate critical aspects and / or the worsening situation in the critical points monitored in view of the deans territorial. In particular, the pre-alarm phase is declared on the basis of weather forecasts, rainfall indications and, above all, hydrometric indications, when:
- Weather conditions and forecasts do not believe the end of the event the next meteor;
- The rain gauges in the area concerned indicating the persistence of rainfall with high intensity;
- The water levels of rivers grow until they reach a critical level for sections monitored in real time. c. Alarm: Activates the occurrence of an event with high critical aspects and / or the worsening situation in the critical points monitored in view of the deans territorial. In particular, the step of alarm is declared when:
- Weather conditions and forecasts do not believe the end of the event the next meteor;
- The rain gauges indicate the continuation of the affected area, with undiminished intensity, rainfall;
- The water levels of rivers grow up to exceedances of critical levels for sections monitored in real time.

Fig. 6 Correspondence between levels of critical aspects and states of alert during the forecast
Disclosure documents of the CFD
The CFD uses the national and regional forecasts issued daily by the DPC, which is made from a special technical group that every day prepares:
an assessment document for the Region of Puglia Meteorological containing an estimate of the amount of accumulated precipitation provided on the various areas of supervision weather that comprise the country (No. 45 zones) on the day of release and in the next one, made available by the CFD on an area reserved web by 11.00; synoptic-scale weather forecasting, for the purposes of civil protection, for the current day and the two following days (up to 72 hours starting at 00:00 on the current day), which makes it available through a CFD 'area of the website reserved by 12.00; a supervisory National Meteorological Bulletin for the purposes of civil protection that is daily available on the website www.protezionecivile.it, no later than 15:00; if applicable, a notice of adverse weather conditions national, faxed and made available in a reserved area, which contains relevant information for all regions.
On the basis of these products CFD assesses the different effects on the ground, at the end of the development and dissemination of daily critical bulletins and, where appropriate, regional Alerts related to hydraulic and hydrogeological risk. In case of presence of ordinary, moderate, or high critical aspects, following the issuance of a warning message.
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 25/109
Bulletin of regional critical aspects
The CFD issues on a daily basis, by 14:00, the Bulletin of the regional critical aspects in which, for each zone alert, reports the prediction of ground effects for the current day and the next 24 hours, on the level of hydrological and hydraulic critical aspects forcing induced by meteoric provided and hydrological past. The Bulletin of regional critical aspect is published daily in the restricted area on the website www.protezionecivile.puglia.it. The Bulletin of regional critical aspects refers to a legend with the details of the possible effects expected on the ground. The Bulletin of regional critical aspects is a tool for continuous updating of event scenarios expected and / or in progress, so it is extremely important that the governments concerned and the territorial components of civil protection will take daily vision, as a tool for decision support. This is true, in the event that a condition is evaluated ordinary critical aspects refers to situations of residual risk in the absence of forcing meteoric, downstream of which will not be issued an Alert message.
Regional critical notice
If the technical assessments is estimated at least moderate severity level of one or more zones of alert, the CFD issues a Notice of regional hydrological and hydraulic critical aspects. The CFD establishes the opportunity to issue the Notice of critical regional aspects based on the following elements: • rainfall forecast; • conditions prior to saturation of the soil; • rains in place, as measured by the monitoring network in rainfall telemetry; • Comparisons between the rains, expected or measured, and related rainfall thresholds; • assessments on any critical conditions in the region reported by the subjects of the Civil Protection system. The Notice of critical reports the beginning and end of the period of validity and the level of critical aspects assessed for each concerned alert zone. The Notice of critical aspects is transmitted to the Director of the Regional Civil Protection Service (delegated by the President of the Council for the adoption of the Notice). The Notice of the regional critical aspects, once adopted, will be issued to the CFC at the CPD, CFD regions of Molise, Campania, Basilicata and the Integrated Regional Operations Room of the PC.
Bulletin of regional update
The phase of monitoring and surveillance, following the issuance of at least ordinary critical aspects report, begins when the expected weather event occurs in one or more areas of alert and ends at the termination of critical aspects. The meteo-hydrological monitor lets you capture, real-time information necessary for the evolution of the observed phenomena and found its effects to the ground through a continuous interaction with the CFD SOIR. The evolution in space and time of the scenarios of critical aspect is followed in real time by verifying the achievement of the predetermined critical thresholds. For this purpose it is prepared, with a periodicity subject to the intensity of the event, in any case not more than 12 hours, a report updating the ongoing regional event, containing an indication of the possible risk scenarios associated with critical levels achieved and the territories of the municipalities potentially involved. The Bulletin Update is sent to the SOIR civil protection, after interacting with the municipalities and the structures involved, notify the CFD situations of findings from the territory. The Bulletin Update is published in a reserved area on the site www.protezionecivile.puglia.it. Issue a warning message subjects and bodies concerned receive an SMS notification of the publication of the message on the website. In the event that the Bulletin of critical aspect reporting a more critical ordinary conditions associated with residual risk in the absence of forcing the meteoric Manager will evaluate the opportunity to issue a warning message.
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 26/109
Corporate communication of weather warnings
The CFD manages corporate communication on the hydraulic and hydrogeological risk by publishing on the website www.protezionecivile.puglia.it of weather briefings planned or in progress and summary reports on weather and hydrological events deemed to be significant and / or exceptional . The communication activities directed to the press are coordinated with the Press Office of the Regional Council. Since the recipients / users of the communications in many cases users are "non-experts", the news published have a language simple, clear, never alarmist and are intended to point out, from time to time, if the information relates to an expected event or the evolution of an event taking place. Following the issuance of a Notice Weather by the DPC and / or critical regional aspect by the CFD, a news article is published on the site description of the meteorological situation envisaged also contains an indication of the effects on the ground and provided advice on good practices of self- protection.
4.3 Case studies on real historical events
4.3.1 Rainfall event of November 19, 2013 in the Salento peninsula Classification and prediction of hydro-geomorphological Plans Except of the hydrogeological basin (PAI)
The Salento peninsula geomorphological characteristics is basically of two types: the oldest karstified rocks, which allow the journey underground water within the aquifers and rocks cover the most recent non-karstified and low permeability, on whose surface flow patterns of short courses of water. The combination of hydro-geological and orographic factors predisposes the area to a localized landslide risk, particularly at some endoreics basins discharging into karst sinkholes.

Classification and evolution of the synoptic rainfall situation
On Europe Western stationed a large trough countered by a large anticyclone that goes up from the eastern Mediterranean to Russia. A cut-off fueled by the derivative of the polar jet stream, located immediately to the west of Sardinia, moves progressively towards the Italian peninsula by creating conditions of instability, even in Puglia. In the first part of the day an intense disturbance affects the central-southern Apulia, with strong to gale force southerly winds and precipitations, also of downpour or storm, with cumulative quantities locally moderate and high; strong southern winds and precipitation isolated, also of downpour or storm, the rest of the region, combined with generally weak. The rainfall event that gave rise to the phenomena of hydrogeological in Puglia has developed between the hours of 05:00 local (04:00 UTC) and 15:00 local (14:00 UTC) of the day 11/19/2013. The rainfall mainly affected the provinces of Taranto, Brindisi and Lecce, with cumulative values that locally exceeded 100 mm (108.8 mm at the station of Lecce, 101 mm at the station Monteruga Mass.). A tornado was also demolished in Gallipoli. The distribution of the accumulated rainfall during the event as a whole, obtained by interpolation of the values detected by the stations in telemetry, is shown in Fig. 9. Tab. 2 shows the rains of maximum intensity, for each duration (1-3-6 - 12-24 hours), recorded at stations in which it has been observed exceeding the rainfall thresholds indicative of the level of critical aspects.

Compared to the situation resulting hydrometric event in question, the only river of this area of interest is represented by the channel Asso. In Fig. 16, embodying the trend of water level in the section of the telemetry channel, it is observed only a narrow peak (in a time window almost coinciding with that in which the precipitation occurred more important, because of the short concentration time the basin subtended) in which is not exceeded any threshold value evaluated in expeditious manner. In fact, no critical aspect related to the state of the channel was observed or reported.

D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 36/109
Consequently, on November 18, the Civil Protection Service of the Puglia Region alerted the regional system of civil protection (Provinces, Prefectures, Municipalities and Community Service) through the issuance of a Warning Message for meteorological and hydrological risk, placing the opening of the The operations Room of the Civil Protection is active 24 hours a day until the end of the message. The state of early warning was extended to the whole day of November 20 with the warning message of November 19.
Fig. 18 Alert message of regional system of Civil Protection
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 37/109
The alert messages were all published in the restricted area, on the corporate website www.protezionecivile.puglia.it and issued in accordance with the procedures contained in the document "Procedures for alerting the regional system of civil protection for weather risk, hydrological and hydraulic" adopted by Resolution of the Regional n. 800/2012. The Regional Civil Protection Service has sent a SMS notification of publication of the message on the site to the mayors and heads of municipalities affected by the civil defense warning message.
In the NEWS section of the corporate website, visible to all, the CFD has also edited the notice of the bad weather conditions laid down for the day of 19 November 2013 and the rules of self-defense to be taken Fig. 19.
SITUATION OF BAD WEATHER FORECAST FOR THE DAY TOMORROW, Tuesday, November 19, 2013 The pressure system that insists on the central western Mediterranean, will make over the next few hours the conditions of marked instability over most of the country. Based on these forecasts, the Civil Protection Department issued a notice of adverse weather conditions expected for Puglia, from the night of today and for the next 24-36 hours spread rainfall, also of downpour or storm. The phenomena may give rise to showers of high intensity, frequent electrical activity and strong gusts of wind. Are expected, furthermore, strong to gale force winds coming from south of Puglia, with storm surges along the exposed coasts.
The Civil Protection Service will follow the evolution of the situation and invited to follow the recommendations below:
• Do not stand in basements;
• Pay attention in 'crossing underpasses and subways;
• Pay more attention to driving of motor vehicles and reduce speed to avoid skidding;
• Avoid areas exposed to strong wind for the possible separation of suspended objects and furniture (scaffolding, signs, etc..) And falling objects too small and relatively light (vases, tiles ...);

Use of volunteer civil protection The intense storms of November 19 on the Salento have generated many critical situations, as a result of which some municipalities have activated their Operations Centers (COC) and it was necessary to the operation of teams of volunteers in civil protection, activated by the Centre Regional Operational (COR).
Ground effects: reports received by the SOIR during critical event The severity of the impact that the event has had on the territory in question, it is a disturbance that produced locally intense storms, is due not only to the mere precipitation, even the violence of meteorological phenomena attached (strong wind, tornadoes).
Among the critical issues reported to the SOIR shows: localized flooding and partial or total obstruction of the road SP 15, 22 and 23 in the territory of Castellaneta, inconvenience to traffic for urban flooding in the municipalities of Manduria, Castellaneta, Taranto, Torchiarolo, Surbiton, Copertino, San Cesario di Lecce and Gallipoli and flooding in the area Iummo River Mottola. Several damage due to the passage of a tornado in Gallipoli. The following figures are quick illustrations.

4.3.2 Event of November 24-27, 2013 Employee and synoptic weather situation recorded.
On 24 November, a minimum centered on the Tyrrhenian stationed in Southern Europe due to the action of the block exerted by the Atlantic ridge to the west and Russia to the east of the anticyclone, while the main flow flowing within a trough that affects the Scandinavian Peninsula. During the day, the inflow of cold polar air over central Europe brings the least to fall gradually in the polar trough and creating instability on the central and southern Italian regions. There has to be isolated to scattered rainfall, locally of downpour, with cumulative quantities regularly moderates on the Adriatic areas in northern Apulia, the Salento and Murgia, weak elsewhere.
On November 25, the entire European continent insists the Arctic trough subject, on the one hand, the thrust exerted of the'anticyclone Atlantic to the east, on the other hand, the action of the Russian blockade of the promontory. The main flow, confined to very high latitudes, turns towards the south of the North Sea, feeding the descent of polar air to southern Europe. About Italy, the cold advection intensifies throughout the day highlighting the conditions of instability on the middle and lower ventilation northern Adriatic with particularly strong. On the north-central Puglia place snowfalls above 300m, with shares snow next to sea level from the evening / night, with contributions to the soil moderate to high quotas hilly and mountainous, weak elsewhere. Strong northerly winds, storm reinforcements on areas of the Adriatic and Ionian and strong gusts of gale on the Adriatic sectors.
On November 26, the displacement Atlantic anticyclone to the European continent favors the process of cut-off of the end of the trough by establishing a minimum stationary, due to the blockade of the Russian promontory on the Italian peninsula. On the north-central Puglia still snowfalls above 300-

400 meters, with cumulative quantities weak; precipitations on the rest of the territory, also of downpour or storm, with cumulative quantities locally moderate. Strong to gale force winds from the northerly winds with strong gusts of gale on the Adriatic sectors.
On November 27, the trough Arctic continues to affect the Italian territory, with a core cooler on the central regions. The advection of polar air in the northeastern portion and currents to ground sectors generate further instability on the central Adriatic. Interested in Puglia Gargano occur where weak precipitation isolated, even in snowy character above 400 meters.
Ground effects encountered and use of voluntary civil protection
The days of snowfall 25-26-27 November in the northern Puglia center have generated frequent uncomfortable situations related essentially to the difficulty on the road. As a substantial impact in relation to the critical hydrogeological following days (30 November to 3 December) is undoubtedly contribution was water, represented by the dissolution of the snowpack on Daunian Apennine and Alta Murgia, saturation of the soil and increase of flow classes of water in the north-central puglia.

The signals received by the SOIR include an accident between a bus, a truck and a car on SS272 - San Marco in Lamis, interruption of traffic and inconvenience to various road SS 16 in the direction of Ripalta - Chieuti, SP 10 and SP 5 - Casalvecchio, Orsara of Apulia, Ruvo 151 SP-Altamura-Gravina Corato on SP 238, SP 39 towards Poggiorsini, SP-234 Ruvo Castel del Monte, on the SS 170 in the direction of Castel del Monte, in Rignano Gargano and SP from the Foresta Umbra to Monte S. Angelo and Vieste. In some situations, it was necessary the intervention of the forces of civil protection volunteers in support to law enforcement agencies for the restoration of road traffic.
4.3.3 Rainfall event of November 30 - December 3, 2013 Classification and prediction of hydro-geomorphological Plans Excerpt of the hydrogeological basin (PAI)
From the standpoint of geo-morphologically the Sub-Apennines Dauno is characterized on the one hand, a portion foothills, consists of hills gently patterned and etched grooves that give rise to the shallow erosive hand, from the most inaccessible slopes with formations and narrow valleys carved. The landscape is very varied, passing from the steps of faults and / or folds very mild, almost flat or areas of low hill. The morphology of a typical high hills and has as a peculiar feature in the presence of dorsal elongated NW-SE direction and slopes affected by mass movements variously extended. From the Sub-Apennines Dauno originate numerous rivers that flowing in the valleys strongly etched, forming a torrential river network that extends into the plain of the Tableland, outlining part of the borders. The Sub-Apennines Dauno is a district in rapid morphological evolution for the presence of landslides of various sizes, which are predisposing conditions in the nature of the outcropping rocks in

the seismicity of the area, nell'acclività places, the lack of an adequate tree cover and in the most inclement climate here more than in other parts of the region.
The Tavoliere is a vast plain covered by Plio-Quaternary sediments, mainly of alluvial facies belonging to the cycles of the Fossa Bradanica, including the Tableland is the main branching towards the NE. These soils are on transgressive limestones of the Apulian carbonate platform, the calcareous- arenaceous flysch and polychrome clay Apennines. From Pleistocene average, the stagnation of the lift and the effects glacioeustatics generated incision of these deposits and the formation of marine terraces sloping down towards the sea and connected by river terraces. The plains were not identified forms of disruption to the landslide. A significant phenomenon is that of the subsidence of large areas around Foggia, Cerignola, Ortanova. This phenomenon is probably due to extensive withdrawals of water from the subsoil and in the area of Lucera to take of gas and hydrocarbons. The Gameboard is criss-crossed by streams and channels of modest scope, with seasonal pattern which Candelaro, Cervaro and Carapelle. The different lithological and structural conditions determined by the action of water currents, erosion forms of waste that are the hallmark of the landscape. This determines the processes of sediment transport with material primarily in suspension, which is mobilized during flood events also moderate.
The low Ofanto area, corresponding to the portion of the Apulian basin of the river, is characterized by a landscape consisting of morphologically inactive Pleistocene alluvial terraces that identify the boundary between the Murgia hills and the Tableland. The area consists of sandy-clayey sediments of the Plio-Pleistocene, is generally flat and weakly stable being engraved. The most steep is closest to the boundary of Lucania, along with the task of Daunia Mountains in southern stretch pedemurgiano. The river valley has an asymmetric profile with a steeper slopes on the right bank and sweeter and degrading to the left. Along the fluvial alluvial deposits are found in significant amount; it is polygenic gravels of limestone, marl and limestone-silica mixed with interbedded sand, silty sand and clayey silts. Continuing towards the mouth of the profiles of the valley up to the lower coastal plain. The mouth, initially in the delta has evolved into an estuary with strong retreat due to human interventions along the river rod.

Classification and evolution of the synoptic rainfall situation
Saturday, November 30, the main flow flowing at high latitudes, forced by an Atlantic anticyclone that extends up to the 50th parallel north. On the eastern edge runs an intense anticyclone northern jet of cold air that feeds the vast depression already present on the central Mediterranean and North Africa. A jet from the south, coming out of the depression that determines the development of a convergence line, arranged by the Salento coast of Calabria: the organized convection that develops within it is the source of intense phenomena (precipitation widespread, prevailing character of downpour or storm and strong winds from the south-east) Puglia Salento in the second part of the day. Sunday, December 1st, the Italian peninsula is still under the influence of large cyclonic area fed by a moderate advection of cold air at high altitudes and the dynamic forcing of the jet coming out of the North African coast. Precipitation widespread and persistent, also of downpour or storm occur on the north-central Puglia, with cumulative quantities on time high; from scattered to widespread, also of downpour or storm, on the southern Puglia. Still strong winds or storm from the east. Monday, December 2, in the central-western Mediterranean and North Africa stationed the cyclonic circulation that still has a substantial share in forcing on its southern edge. The minimum in the lower layers positioned on the central-southern Tyrrhenian tends to move gradually, imbued, the Ionian Sea south. In the lower layers flow from the south-east invests Puglia Salento, with a modest recovery in the second part of the phenomena of the day; flow north-eastern argued instead interested in the central and southern Adriatic coast, with rainfall spread, also of downpour or storm, on the north- central Murgia and Gargano on the reliefs and sub-Apennines.

Tuesday, December 3, the lowest share in the central-western Mediterranean and North Africa is being filling and is displaced from the minimum to the ground situated to the west of Sardinia, which is also in the process of filling. Puglia rainfall from isolated to scattered, locally of downpour or storm, with cumulative quantities weak-central Puglia and locally moderate in the Sub-Apennines Dauno.
The rainfall event that gave rise to the phenomena of hydrogeological-hydraulic Puglia started from the night of November 30, 2013, initially affecting the south and then spread, almost without interruption until the day 03 December, at the ionic and north-central region. Next figures show the time sequence of the distribution of accumulated rainfall, obtained by interpolation of the values measured by telemetry stations in the different stages of the event rainfall.

Hydrometric analysis The weather event that has affected the entire region has been characterized by widespread and persistent rains generally. This type of precipitation has gradually resulted in an increase in the degree of saturation of the soil, giving rise to an increase in water levels in almost all the surface drainage network, which is less than major, in the region. Flood events have occurred in the first match of the minor river basins, as in the case of the Canal Patri in the province of Brindisi, and subsequently also in the basins of major rivers such as the Ofanto causing flooding in several locations.
In Fig. 43, Fig. 44 and Fig. 45 are shown the temporal trends of water levels observed during flood events monitored for some sections of the main and secondary lattice compared with the hydrometric thresholds adopted at the CFD.
In addition, Tab. 5 compares the maximum available water levels recorded by the telemetry network in the Region of Puglia since the beginning of operation of each sensor hydrometric and the maximum water level recorded during the event. From the graphs we can observe that almost all the regional

UPDATE OF THE HYDRO / WEATHER SITUATION, TIME 8PM December 2, 2013 Continued disruption that hit the Apulia from Saturday, with widespread and persistent rainfall, also of downpour or storm, strong winds and electric shock. On Sunday the continuous rains have experienced flooding in the countryside and in the towns, causing inconvenience to traffic for the presence of mud, water and debris on many provincial and state roads, and causing the overflow of canals and streams. The municipalities most affected are those from the Sub Dauno, north of Bari, Salento and the Arc Ionic Tarantino.
The municipalities of Ginosa and Castellaneta was once again affected by flooding due to rains that all'esondazione either side of the rivers and Bradano. There were no injuries. In the streams overflowed Foggiano Candelaro Carapelle and Cervaro, with disruption to traffic and flooding mostly in rural areas. In particular, in the countryside Crowned the flooding of Cervaro resulted in the closure of the SP75 and SS16-Foggia and Cerignola has affected the railway line towards Foggia, on which there was the derailment of a regional train.
Under constant observation also Fortore rivers and Ofanto, whose flood levels have not yet returned. For the next few hours the Functional Centre and the Operations Room of the Civil Protection Service will continue to monitor the evolution of the floods in place and coordinate actions related to the issues reported from the territory.
HYDRO-METEOROLOGICAL SITUATION UPDATE, TIME 5PM OF December 2, 2013. Continued monitoring of hydro-meteorological situation by the Center for Functional and Regional Decentralized coordination of the territory by the Operations Room of the Civil Protection Service.
There has been weak precipitation over northern Puglia and the Salento Peninsula.
The falling water levels of most rivers with the exception of the two largest rivers in Puglia for which you are monitoring the flood propagation traits in the valley, whose transit is planned for the river in the late morning and late afternoon Ofanto-evening by the river Fortore.
It is critical to point out that the Ofanto River broke its banks downstream of the Roman bridge and the river overflows Fortore which is close to the Colle d'Arena.
Alerted the municipalities concerned and the managers of major road infrastructure.
UPDATE OF THE HYDRO / WEATHER SITUATION, TIME 8AM December 3rd, 2013 The activities of the evening and night of the Center for Functional and Decentralized Operations Centre of Civil Protection of Puglia, have focused on the monitoring of the levels of rivers and streams and critical aspects registered in the territory. Still problems on Daunian Apennine, where continuous rains have increased levels of Cervaro, Carapelle, dell'Ofanto and its tributaries. The Cervaro again overflows in the locality Crowned causing flooding in the villages Cervaro, Mezzanone and Tavernole, flooding and disruption to traffic on the SS16 at Cerignola and on neighboring roads. Reactivated in the morning the railway line to the Crowned. Contained increased levels of Bradano following the spillage of water from the reservoir of San Giuliano, by reaching the level of security for the dam. Activities followed in coordination with the functional center of Basilicata, which has no effects created on the territory of Ginosa.
Forecasts indicate that the precipitation phenomena should run out in the evening, moving on the arc ion then download the sea.

Photo interpretation of satellite images
Immediately following the flooding of the day November 30 to December 3, 2013, the Civil Protection Service of the Puglia Region, in support of emergency management activities and to assess the effects on the ground, made it to the Department of Civil Protection request for access the satellite imagery of the area affected by the events.
The service enabled by these events was the National Service for the acquisition of SAR data - COSMO-SKYMED the Italian Space Agency - made available to the Civil Protection System for the purposes of emergency management. The product supplied to the Civil Protection Service Puglia is a map of the flooded areas, created by CIMA Foundation, Competence Center of the Department, covering the territory in Fortore river valley.

Reports received from the territory of critical post event
Numerous reports of critical aspects were received from territory as a result of the events described before. These reports refer to situations already known in the course of events, or other situations may not be reported promptly to the Regional Operative Centre (COR).
The Civil Protection Service of the Puglia Region also called on local authorities a first quantification of damages resulting from the natural disasters and related expenses, as well as a regional reconnaissance technical facilities operating in the area.
As reported, the ground effects resulting from the adverse weather events that have affected the region from 30 November to 3 December 2013 were very large, being in fact was concerned, and rather
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 63/109
peculiar circumstance of which shows recent memory, the 'entire river network region, from the minor to the parent.
To these effects, however, are associated with widespread hydrogeological situations, particularly in the area of the Sub Dauno form of instability of the soil induced by abundant rainfall.
In relation to the hydrographic network, you are therefore necessary interventions is common for cleaning and maintenance, in relation to the relevant sediment transport occurred, which localized, hydraulic levees and banks. As far as the slopes are prone to instability, it is necessary, with priority given to risky situations for the public and private safety, proceed to urgent safety measures and subsequent action of reduction of residual risk.
Complaints are most interested in transport infrastructure, in particular roads at all levels, and those with a network of essential services, as well as public and private buildings, cultural heritage and productive activities.
4.4 Ongoing activities
1. THE PROJECT MODS LIVING LABS
In Fig. 53 can find the complete list of the living labs, financed by Apulia Region by the Industrial Research and Innovation Service. The projects are grouped into 8 domains:
Fig. 53 Complete list of the living labs groups
In Environment, Security and Territorial Protection domain we can find MODS LIVING LABS project, in which through modern technology available has been implemented IT infrastructure cloud-oriented service able to:
- Acquire and harmonize data from heterogeneous sources, automatic (telemetry monitoring networks) and not (data entered directly by the volunteers in the field);
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 64/109
- The data are made available by means of a suitable environment WebGIS with advanced functionality of DSS (Decision Support System) to applications for real-time monitoring (via WebGIS) and for the analysis of post-event data (ReWARE)
The system enables the exchange and integration of data from monitoring networks telemetry implementing the INSPIRE Directive at regional level; an example of that application is the unification of telemetry data of the Civil Protection with the meteorological services region data from SAR-ASSOCODIPUGLIA. The services for the acquisition of data consist of a series of tools that allow data sources to feed the database from outside through web services. They are therefore sources that implement the client's power centralized DB thus making it "linear" system scalability with new data sources. The unified database has 2 areas: the staging dedicated to storing the data as it arrives from the source and the area where the unified takes a "harmonization" of various characteristic of the data (geographic unified registry stations, temporal and common time reference parametric normalization with the name quantities and units of measure). In this way it is possible to have an aggregate referenced data with respect to a common reference system with the possibility of always being able to get the original data. In addition to the telemetry data, the system displays a new channel data acquisition from the field. This is accomplished through the mobile professional applications designed to be used by the volunteers of the Territorial Plumbing Deans. The main functionality is to acquire quantitative and qualitative data from the field through simple user interfaces, intuitive and fast even in "off-line" mode. Through these software applications for mobile devices, the volunteer civil protection is thus enabled to perform both a visual and a relief hydrometric monitoring of the stream and transmit in real time to a remote operational center of Civil Protection; the data collected are inserted in a system in which can also be attached a photographic record of the condition of the premises. This new interactive channel extends the number of monitoring points territorial and include the critical points and control points sensitive to situations of landslide risk. The available data in the DB called unified MODS-BASE is then used in both operational modes (real time processing) or analytical (post-event processing). The system in fact provides a continuous monitoring of rainfall data of the unified network of hydrometric sensors (in telemetry or not) and those related to the user visual monitoring. The application consists of an ad hoc webgis that permirs the juxtaposition of different layer of information of heterogeneous type (risk forecast, precipitation cumulated in different bases and hourly water levels with the presentation of the trend) in view of identifying real-time events exceeding the critical thresholds and thus enable a more rapid release of the bulletins warning, even taking into account the specific local context, in which the environmental and anthropogenic phenomenon manifests itself. In the post-event processing data is used by an application named analysis (ReWARE) that allows you to collect and classify all the data relevant to an overall assessment of the risk scenario in order to identify recurring situations, calibrate the parameters of alert and generally connect to each other information relating to the event (photos, newspaper articles, information entered by the municipalities and in general by the institutions concerned by the adverse phenomenon).
2. DEVELOPMENT OF AN INFORMATION SYSTEM ANALYSIS, PREDICTION, MONITORING AND INFORMATION (SINAPSI) TO SUPPORT REGIONAL SERVICE CIVIL PROTECTION
The project aims to implement an Information System for Monitoring and Information Analysis Forecasting for Civil Protection (S.IN.APSI) in order to make available tools and features for the collection, organization and integration of content (data, video, images , news, alerts) arising from the different entities operating in the area (institutional, operational bodies, technical and scientific bodies), into a single stream of information of mutual interest in the field of Civil Protection. In this way it may be possible obtain strategic factors which affect support decision-making (Decision Making Process) in terms of prevention and risk reduction, the development of models of
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 65/109
performance-oriented city, with characteristics of transparency, effectiveness and efficiency and the ability to coordinate action, even compared to peaks of emergencies. The availability of data synergistically statistically multiplexed and processed may allow the provision of services essential for the monitoring, prevention and risk reduction, even in the face of climatic events, geological or anthropogenic difficult to predict. They also outline a potential capacity rationalization and optimization of public spending in terms of cost of disaster recovery, acting on the prevention of emergencies rather than on the management. This tool will be developed to support the coordination of the activities of a plurality of subjects, Institutional (such as Prefectures, Provinces and Municipalities), Operating (in the case of VVF, CFS Provincial Police, Voluntary Organizations) and Technical Science (ARPA , Reclamation Consortia, ASL, CNR, etc..) and which must ensure proper functionality of the collection, organization and integration of data and information coming from different subjects and be effective in supporting the interaction and coordination of all stakeholders. The system must also be capable of providing adequate support to both the forecasting and prevention as the phases of emergency coordination. In the general framework of the Information System of the Region (SIRP), S.IN.APSI will be accessible from the web interface integrated built from the new regional web portal that will provide data, information, and news reports through cross-fertilization of multiple databases and the adoption of Web Services interfaces with different levels of security. The convergence towards the SIRP model is planned for all features, with the only limitations that arise from the type of data that can be of a confidential nature and support of the current identification of the operators. The project involves the construction of a browsing service and observation (NetAnalysis) updated in real-time with information, data and events represented in iconic form of mapping and monitoring and it will be tested with the aim of supporting the interaction and coordination of all involved stakeholders also in accordance with the procedures set forth to meet predictions, the imminence or occurrence of an event which might be an element of danger to the population, land and property (DPC/CD/225/2008). In addition to the institutional purposes of civil protection, the system can make available images, historical data, also anonymized, that is open data for targeted campaigns (road safety, environmental, fire prevention, etc..) in order to raise social awareness or education school / youth. The architecture of the system is based on different levels. The first level generates the data that is to be borne by all parties involved. The collected data is then channeled through ICT architectures and communication infrastructure, standards-based (Web Services, Middleware dedicated,…) that adequate levels of interoperability to an intermediate level of processing and integration. Users can be represented by both systems and people (institutional, operational and scientific-technical) that, properly profiled, have access to data and information for monitoring and control, or to external people and organizations who can gain access to the data using appropriate modes of public use (for example, open data). The proposed system SINAPSI intends to provide tools to support the coordination of the activities of institutional, operational and technical-scientific, ensuring proper functionality of the collection, organization and integration of data and information coming from different subjects. Synergies will therefore be undertaken with specific projects or activities in progress (SITIP-II., RUPAR Wireless, SIT...) with the aim of providing integrated services to end-users today not available on single platform. It should be noted, however, that the activity coordination and involvement of a variety of external stakeholders of different nature (technical, operational and institutional) can be a risk factor for defining the final specifications and to validate the results. In order to mitigate the risk factors there is a need to set up formal Service Level Agreement (SLA) between all stakeholders.
The project will use info-telematic technology infrastructure currently under construction as part of action "Strengthening of 'Cloud Computing Infrastructure of Regional Technical Center " and "the technological services of Regional Technical Center to support the Community RUPAR-SPC”. This infrastructure will make available processing servers, communications equipment, storage resources and data base software and middleware necessary for the operation of the basic service.

D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 70/109
Fig. 59 Information related to roads
Database management service and vehicle terminal association The service provides access to the main data base in which you can attach to each vehicle (identified with a plaque or initials), the mobile terminal (identified by its IMEI) and the relative SIM (identified by the associated phone number). In this way you can keep under control at all times and if necessary update the association in the case of maintenance. Guest management service It was developed a system that allows to see the display of vehicle under the authorization of the command and the executive responsible. The service accessible with specific credentials is protected by a password that authorize the actual share for a limited time. Multiple SMS sending service The system will also allow you to send multiple text messages simultaneously to a list of users. The list includes both users equipped with mobile terminals, but also traders in possession of mobile phone or PDA included in the list of recipients. In this way it is possible to convey real time informations and simultaneously to a large number of recipients in the early stages of strategic coordination of activities. Providing and maintenance Hardware / Software mobile handsets, data cards, IP Phones Service In order to make the service accessible, InnovaPuglia provides civil protection hardware and software that allow the use of services. In particular, there is a delivery service with their service and maintenance for mobile terminals, navigation software, data cards for mobile connectivity, VoIP phones, and maintenance services on the equipment supplied. System "Web Surveillance Operations" Civil Protection In order to monitor some areas at risk, video surveillance cameras were connected to the RUPAR Wireless and a WiMax network. The following figure is taken by a camera installed near a creek.
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 71/109
Fig. 60 Web Surveillance Operations System
Implementation of backup solutions for transporting data type satellite In order to maintain the service access and consultation of data (maps, digital archives, real-time data, ...) even under conditions of total unavailability of transmission lines, terrestrial (fiber optics, broadband, wireless, cellular, etc.) it is agreed to design an backup infrastructure satellite capable of transmitting the data and voice traffic, implementing a dedicated backbone between all locations and the regional civil protection center for the collection and management of data at the data center of InnovaPuglia. In this way, the redundancy of the terrestrial network is ensured and satellite bandwidth availability may be defined and designed in function of the main needs linked firstly to the availability of a transport channel data and voice for the continuity of operations coordination .
1. Strengthening of communication technologies for the Coordination "Net Communications" In the logic of strengthening the communication and management of regional coordination, it is fundamental the use of advanced solutions identified among other VoIP systems, recording and archiving of video communication over IP. The specific services are summarized as follows: . audio-video communication between users belonging to different networks (RUPAR Wireless, Internet, Intranet of Puglia Region, ISDN); . real-time sharing of PC in conference mode-specific applications (presentations, documents, web browsers, application-specific, etc.) and compatibility with the communication protocols (SIP, H323, H320); . Recording emergency calls in a central repository or local level . Advanced VoIP Services Communication services must be guaranteed also through the availability of one or more mobile stations equipped with satellite technology located in areas of disaster and in any case interoperable
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 72/109
with the classic systems of VHF-UHF communication. The aim is therefore to integrate different communication systems (satellite, VHF, WiFi, etc.) towards a single platform .
2. Application of advanced technological tools to support the processes of formation in complex operational scenarios, "Virtual Theatre" A proper transfer of information, procedures and management in complex operational scenarios is fundamental to the effectiveness of coordination. To this end it is essential to be able to share, analyze and test procedures in the field of intervention increasingly standardized and that they are aware of the multiplicity of actors (volunteers, firefighters, forest, etc.) to which the Regional Service of Civil Protection transfers information under its jurisdiction. In a scenario of this type an integrated and immersive virtual reality is the favorite way for effective training of personnel and the use of technical and procedural content. The virtual theater is the most innovative technological solution for the collective use of the so-called "immersive virtual reality". It is an integrated environment for displaying three-dimensional perception of the sense of presence. This will improve the human- machine interaction, providing an environment for learning more natural and intuitive. The goal is therefore to use highly technological systems that can recreate the actual conditions of the emergency scenarios in the form of virtual theater, in order to improve the level of training / information with respect to the levels of disaster management.
3. Robotic System for the purpose of aerial reconnaissance in support of operations coordination In the early stages of investigation in order to support the coordination it is vital to have a level of central images, data and information from the field in the affected area. To allow a targeted collection of information and the level of detail to the specific emergency, is meant to refer to robotic systems reconnaissance more commonly known under the name "drones" that are micro vehicles, able to retrieve information and aerial imagery in a manner completely independent but remotely controllable. Biomimetics, the science that is inspired by nature to find new technological solutions, has allowed the study of solutions "drone" last generation able to adapt to multiple types of use in complex scenarios. It therefore intends to be a "form of Mobile Air Surveillance” in order to integrate information from affected area.
4. Structured database "Web DBase" for the integration and management of information Over the past few years, the service of Civil Protection has developed a system that allows to integrate and make available all information relating to the coordination of individual events in the operating conditions. This solution is strongly centered on the needs of emergency management, but at the same time does not allow for optimal integration with the cartographic component of the information collected. The goal is to migrate this application in a "Web Operating DBase" which also integrates GIS technology to optimize the coordination of civil protection activities in the area, the type of entities involved, the vehicles used, the coordinates of the media, the images taken in the field and uploaded to the database RUPAR Wireless and the results of the interventions.
5 . “WebGis Operational" Civil Protection The aim is to enhance the capabilities of command and control of the Integrated Operating Room \ integrating data from different sources thus allowing integrated and permanent scenarios which are made up through a correct reconstruction of the situation in the field. A system of this kind will allow the displacement of a Command Post Advanced directly on the territories affected by natural disasters. This configuration would have the additional benefit to the regional structure as the information thus acquired would be processed in real time and would swell the regional database in automatic mode, without the loss of useful information to regional planning.
6. Platform integration of navigation and "Net Analysis" to and from external bodies The platform must be able to support the functions of monitoring and alerting of the Regional Center for Functional Multi-risk, ensuring the centralization of monitoring data collected by the different
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 73/109
sectoral networks (eg, weather, seismic, ground and surface water, tide gauge, analysis of air and so on..) and by making available the corresponding functions for analysis and forecasting for the management of different levels of alarm. The insertion is carried out by the different actors (civil protection, municipalities, provinces, specific bodies and institutions) and the updated information must be able to be viewed comfortably in real time. The web-based approach allows you to maintain a central system for the collection, storage and updating of data constantly monitored and redundant that can be easily accessed by all organizations operating during emergency management. The RUPAR Wireless network can be used in order to make comunications avalaible between Civil Protection in Puglia and National Organization.
All of this in harmony with the principles of the integration of the Public Service Connectivity (SPC):
• architectural and organizational development that ensures the federated nature, polycentric and non-hierarchical system. • cost-effectiveness in the use of network services, interoperability and support for application cooperation. • market development and competition in the field of information technology and communications.
The platform of ICT services for the management of information flows between actors involved in various ways in order to themes of Civil Protection is the interchange and use of data, video, images, news, reports and events that: • integrate content from different sources into a single stream of information of mutual interest in the field of Civil Protection; • support the phases of coordination and strategic decision-making in emergency situations and in conditions of ordinary alarm; • promote the reusability of applications, services, and models from the various regional public administrations directly involved on the ground.
4.5 Operating structures of regional civil protection (infrastructural topics)
Decentralized Functional Centre (CFD):
The CFD uses a network of monitoring telemetry that can acquire from sensors thermo-rainfall, wind and hydrometric data and also solar radiation and relative humidity. The frequency of acquisition and transmission of data is every half hour.
The monitoring network is managed by the CFD of the Civil Protection Service that ensures: - Strengthening; - Technological upgrading; - Operation; - Checking the reliability of the measured data; - The ordinary and extraordinary maintenance; - The collection, validation, storage, preservation and dissemination of the measured data.
The display and processing numerical and graphical data collected are managed through the use of dedicated software that provide redundancy in the data-processing basis of the observations of weather-hydrological monitoring network: winnet6/Das-ETG platforms, allows to view real-time data network of ground monitoring of the CFD and the thresholds set, in order to graphically represent the performance of the
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 74/109
monitored variables and processing to be applied in order to evaluate the critical event in progress; platform-DEWETRA CIMA, which allows integrated viewing and processing of data from national Functional Center and from maps. DEWETRA is an integrated system for real-time monitoring for prediction and prevention of natural hazards. A system is defined as the synthesis, integration and comparison necessary for instrumental monitoring, supervision and evaluation of risk scenarios and their possible evolution. The project was developed as part of the agreement between the Department of Civil Protection and the CIMA Research Foundation - International Centre on Environmental Monitoring- and it is operational at the Department of Civil Protection. DEWETRA uses a hybrid architecture that combines an integrated server for backing up data on a local basis and web applications that allow widespread distribution of this information. The application provides, through a graphical interface, information at high resolutions and continuously updated, allowing the user to monitor weather events, build detailed risk scenarios and assess the potential impact of events on communities and infrastructure. DEWETRA allows each computer connected to the Internet to use the built-in map mode, all data in the system independently from the source. The application manages the data coming from the platform used by the National System of Functional Centres as well as territorial and geospatial data such as WMS - Web Map Service from other platforms. DEWETRA is able to load and display static and dynamic geo- referenced layers , allowing to see the values of each measurement station and other means of observation and offers the most advanced functionality and user interactive tools for the analysis of events ongoing or past. The applications developed in DEWETRA are related to the phenomena fires and floods, chosen as a priority because of their frequency and distribution. the application of X-Janus Network Functional Centres, which allows the visualization of data acquired by the monitoring networks located in Italy. For the purposes of the activities of the CFD, are of interest data for stations located at the outer edge of the region. The Structure of the Center for Weather and Climate Functional Regional Monitoring (former Hydrographic Office and Tidal, transferred to the Puglia region as a result of the DPCM 24/07/2002 and incorporated into the Civil Protection Service) provides the "historic" discovery, validation, archiving and publication of hydrological and hydrographic and climatic conditions, by means of weather-hydrological monitoring network, with jurisdiction in Article 22 of Presidential Decree No. 85 1/24/1991.

Currently the stations in the field are supported by a UHF radio network based on a dual redundant ring. This network structure, in addition to being particularly high performance, allows also to have a safe operation, given by path redundancy, which puts it protected from any risk of interruption of the data flow towards the CFD. The following figure shows how data are acquired and transmittend from sensor:
Fig. 62 Acquisition and transmission of data
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 76/109
Fig. 63 Puglia Radio Network
The acquisition of data from the stations is carried out with a wireless modem with analog transmission at 1200bps data, while the data transfer link is made with digital radio modem at 9600bps.
The radio system currently used allows, within certain limits, to compensate for possible malfunctions of individual repeaters, transmitting the information through alternative routes. The data arrive and are stored in a database physically based at the headquarters of the CFD and shared with the CFC (Department of Civil Protection-Rome) and the CIMA Research Foundation, which manages the platform and the application DEWETRA X-Janus. The data of hydrometric monitoring network pluvio are also made available on a platform of DHI company, in order to be used in the context of application of hydrological and hydraulic modeling in real time.
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 77/109
The availability of a hydrological modeling in real time is a crucial resource in view of the institution of the Unit Command and Control for the Government of the floods provided for by Directive PCM 27.02.2004, with particular regard to river basins where there is the presence of reservoirs.
4.6 Activities to begin
1. INTEGRATION RADIO DATA TRANSMISSION NETWORKS
The Puglia Region is planning to test a radio backbone multichannel high-speed (with connections in the air up to 18 GHz) for vehicular traffic of Civil Protection and dimensioned in such a way as to ensure a traffic capacity of 15 Mbit/s. This will be a real backbone dedicated to transport high-speed services for mission-critical data and any other applications of regional interest. Below is the structure of the new backbone:

The radio network uses licensed frequency so that the risk of interference is minimized thus increasing the realiability and availability.
5 PILOT IMPLEMENTATION (In this chapter will be analyzed and described the followinf items: i) Definition of testing scenario, ii) Operational and Government structures to involve, iii) Testing in an exercise (contribution by Regione Puglia. Some specific use case and technical components developed in the project tasks will be tested in the pilot application. The final definition of pilot implementation demonstrator is therefore crucial in order to i) correctly assess technical functionality and management performance of the system based on components developed and ii) properly verify that the project C2SENSE goals have been achieved. Because of this a more detailed definition of the pilot application will be released together with the design implementation in the next deliverable “D7.2 - Design of the implementation of the pilot application scenario – flood scenario” according to the task 7.2 time schedule. Meanwhile, in order to give an idea of a starting point for possible pilot use case demonstrator that will be later defined in D7.2, we attach here description and result achieved during a training exercise which took place few years ago in Puglia, as reported in Appendix A.

6 CONCLUSION AND NEXT STEPS
6.1 Considerations This document outlined user operation characteristics, procedures, and scenario of the civil protection emergency systems with a specific focus in Puglia Region (Italy) Some critcities and limits encountered are also highlighted. Part of the current technology infrastructure and its future evolution has been described in order to give an overview of the current application landscape. Some recent example of floods events are also described in order to provide a picture of how civil protection operate in specific emergency management conditions. Critical aspects, general requirements ans user operations, will be an input to the Task 2.3 “ Gathering User and Technical Requirement of C2-SENSE Architecture” while a final definition and classification of pilot implementation and technological infrastructure to be used in the test scenario will be provided in the Task 7.2. Only a restricted part of the wide use case analysis and classification will be tested in the pilot demonstrator booth as a laboratory facility approach and on the field as a support for a high level training civil protection exercise.

Description of scenarios for the province of event and actions
More than one element calamitous, in the past, involved in rapid succession all provinces regional. For this reason it was decided to carry out an exercise for each province. it should be noted provicia that the recently established (BAT) is to be considered in a single scenario with that Bari. The scenarios refer to the following situations, described below, which have allowed test scenarios for each province event of gravity comparable to cases that have already occurred.
Province of Bari and BAT
The area includes the municipalities of Canosa di Puglia, Barletta, Margherita of Savoia, San Ferdinando di Puglia and Trinitapoli.
On 28/05/2010 the DPC / CFC emanates notice of adverse weather conditions consisting of rain in of downpour and thunderstorm with gale force winds that will affect the northwest the provinces. As a
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 88/109
result of persistent heavy rains in the days of 28 and 29 occurs the flooding of the Ofanto that affects the hydraulic left the territories of the municipalities of San Fernando, Tring and Margherita of Savoy; to the right of the municipalities of Canosa di Puglia and Barletta. Possible effects can occur on the high-voltage power lines and other peripheral units.
In particular, there are three emergency scenarios:
- The municipalities of Margherita di Savoia and Tring areas that are affected by flooding suburban and interruption of provincial and municipal roads and the railway line in City of Margherita di Savoia;
- The municipality of Barletta is affected by flooding in suburban areas, by the interruption of provincial and municipal roads, a railway line corresponding to the line Bologna – Lecce as well as the resort "Fiumara";
- SP3 "The Salinelle" in some places flooded, with motorists stranded and the Roman Bridge, insistent on the territory of Canosa di Puglia, unsafe, manned constantly.
The municipalities, through its Civil Protection Plan prepare appropriate measures to manage the emergency. The provinces will operate initially as emergency SOP from the Operations Room of the Prefecture of Bari, activating its own technical facilities, preparing action plans and notifying constantly information to the organs of command and control. The Prefectures intervene later as CCS, when the emergency can not be more managed by the Province with the SOP.
The A14 motorway is identified as a viable artery for the alternative road to the north of Barletta at the intersection with the SS16. The two points can filter traffic to the appropriate route to the motorway network they are:
- In a southerly direction to the junction Km711 +650 SS 16 with the former SS 545 locations in variant Cerignola, with deviation toward the Cerignola East;
- To the north, the junction at Km 743 +600 of the SS16 with SS Barletta 93 locations, with deviation towards the toll of Canosa di Puglia.
The resulting initiatives can be divided into two phases: in the first instance are set up the necessary blocks access to the State points immediately upstream and downstream areas esondate:
- Intersection with New Road SS16 Anas 113 southbound;
- Intersection with the former NSA 113 SS 544 southbound;
- Intersection with the former NSA 113 SS 159 southbound;
- Intersection suspender SS16 with the NSA 113 northbound.
At the same time, as well as national channels CCISS will be branched user information, of closed road and alternate route, with variable message panels upstream of the existing interested in a north south at Barletta, Trani center, Molfetta south.
Secondly it will provide for the closure of the Provincial Roads in the points corresponding to areas and towns affected by the emergency with the establishment of the gates in the sections:
- Closure of the junction at km 9 +300 of the SS93 access to SP 142;
- Closure of the junction at km 729 +900 of the SS16 South San Ferdinando in a southerly direction;
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 89/109
- Closure of the junction at km 728 +000 of the West San Fernando SS16 in the direction of the South;
- Closure of the junction at km 725 +700 of the San Fernando-SS16 towards Trinitapoli South;
- Closure of the junction at km 724 +700 of San Ferdinando SS16 North towards the South;
- Closure of the junction at km 721 +100 of the SS16 South Junction SP65 direction;
- Closure of the junction at km 714 +900 of the SS16 Graft SP231 in a southerly direction;
- Closure of the junction at km 713 +570 of the SS16 Graft SP62 towards the south;
- Closure of the junction at km 711 +650 of the SS16 Graft former SS 545 in the direction of the South

In particular, in the area of Torre Canne, will be reported flooded basements and homes even with the presence of some disabled people which need to be helped in the process of evacuation. In addition, during heavy rainfall, the Provincial Road No. 6, which connects the Provincial Road 92 (Pieces of Greek) Torre Canne, has strong floods and debris flows more at the intersection with Provincial Road No. 7 and 90. In consequence of the critical aspects of the above, it is evaluated the opportunity to interdict to traffic Provincial Road No. 6 and 7, and a stretch of 90; accordingly procedures are activated provided for diverting the flow of traffic on other roads and for the management of the motorists.
In the stretch of sea off the coast of Ostuni precisely at the Torre San Leonardo (Lido Morelli), a merchant ship of several tons, partly due to the failure of engines and the rough sea, it loses some edge bins containing mineral oils, some of which, impact with the water, they break causing the leakage of the product with consequent pollution.

The Presidency of the Council of Ministers-Department of Civil Protection, dated May 27, 2010 issues the notice of adverse weather conditions for the region of Puglia. In the late evening of 28 May, the Association for the Reclamation of the captains, in consideration Occhito the water level reaches 195.00 m. above sea level, it communicates to the Prefecture of Foggia phase ALERT Dam with activation of the reinforced surveillance. The aforementioned body is also present that the additional contributions coming from the basin upstream will flow downstream from the fixed threshold and also that the increase in time of the level recorded in the last hours, raising fears the achievement of the share of 195.20 m. asl (quota fixed for the activation procedures "ALARM TYPE 1").
On May 30, 2010, at 8:00 am, the COR shall issue notice of critical high hydrogeological risk.
On the same day, at 9.00 am, the Consortium for the reclamation of the captains shall inform the PrefectureFoggia is reached the proportion of invaded expected (195.20 m. Above sea level) and, therefore, activate the procedures for "DANGER WARNING TYPE 1". The Prefecture immediately communicate to the Companies and organizations concerned to implement the measures provided art. 12 of the Emergency Plan, as well as the activation of the Operations Centre of Civil Protection with the establishment of the Crisis to constantly monitor the situation. By memorandum on May 30, ca, the Operations Room of the Civil Protection Service of the Region Puglia inform the CCS at the Prefecture and the Provisional Operating Room Province of Foggia in the downstream area of the Fortore persist with intense rainfall data alarm detected by the rain gauges. According to the
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 98/109
dangerousness of the levels found in the bed of Fortore technicians intervened in representation of the province of 'A.N.A.S. , The Italian Railway Network Spa, as well as the Società Autostrade SpA Italy to propose the closure of the arteries both road Train as a result of flooding of the river Fortore and consequent flooding in the vicinity of the Ripalta railway station. The progressive implementation of the closures is as follows:
A) Closing bridges over the river Fortore:
- Ripalta - Chieuti - Sp 41
- Station Ripalta - Sant 'Agata di Puglia - SP 42a (gates n ° 7 - 8 - 14)
- Bridge Colle d 'Arena
- Torremaggiore - Serracapriola - Sp 46
- Casalnuovo Monterotaro - Colletorto - Sp 5
- Ponte Littorio
B) Activation gates:
- No. 1-2-3-4-5 (Access to municipal roads from SP 35)
- No. 12 -13 (Access to municipal roads from SP 44 to SP 42 bis)
C) Closing railway line San Severo - Termoli with bus service replacements (for long-distance trains from Foggia to Termoli and vice versa) so diverted:
- From south to north entrance to the A14 motorway exit at Poggio Imperiale
- From North to South: entrance to the A14 motorway exit Termoli.
D) Closing A14 tract San Severo - Termoli with alternative road:
To emergency vehicles remained reserved specific road routes.
It is therefore necessary to transfer to a safe place some families living in the area of Ripalta as well as a large number of foreign nationals Bulgarian and Romanian latter dwelling in farm buildings and, therefore, provides staging and assembly of a tent city in band adjacent to the stretch of road in the town of Hvar Fortore avenue near the Hotel Hvar marked with sheet 1 P.lla n. 2257, area already included in the protection plan Civil Marina di Lesina. At 11.40 hours, took note of the above arteries of flooding is placed in the first interruption of the traffic of the SS 16 in the vicinity of the bridge Ripalta, Fortore site on the river between the towns of Hvar and Serracapriola. At 11.50 is willing closure of the railway line at the station of Ripalta in both directions between Foggia and Termoli, and consequently to travelers is secured a replacement bus service with assistance of Voluntary Associations local. It is then placed the closure of the motorway A14 at San Severo - Termoli resulting in diversion of road traffic on the route mentioned above. The Reclamation Consortium for the captains with a note of May 30 ca, at 18.00 has notified the termination of the alert phase type 1 and the end of supervisory reinforced. At 18.30 on the same date notice is given by the owners of the roads authorities and by R.F.I. the restoration of road and rail traffic. The CCS of the Prefecture and the Provisional Operations Room of the Province, through the media, shall give appropriate notice to the users and citizenships-clear and dell'avvenuto restoration of road and rail. The Prefecture at 19.00 dissolves the Crisis Unit.
Province of Lecce
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 99/109
The area includes the towns of Salento fields, and Trepuzzi Squinzano with a population of about 9,000 inhabitants.
On May 28, will be issued a notice of adverse weather conditions. There are heavy rains and tornadoes and tree felling. The rainwater from the Province of Brindisi and Taranto reached the village in the north / west of Salento fields, with flooding basements and roads, as the area is morphologically depressed .. In the area between Trepuzzi, Squinzano and Salento fields, the fields affected by the spreading of the purification plant, are ongoing flooding with flood water, mixed with mud and debris from the channels to the side of the road and into a chasm that now fills, overflows. The flooding of rainwater and debris mixed with mud and twigs, blocks the traffic of the road Fields provincial / Cellino. In this regard, there should be a alternative road, with block intersection to the south and north of the territory concerned, a survey by the Consortium of Remediation Arneo, the intervention of specialized companies for the removal of mud and twigs. It also determines:
-clogging of the purification plant of Squinzano and Trepuzzi, within affected by heavy rainfall and the spreading of untreated waste water and sanitary risks and for roads etc.. (up to SP 96 between Squinzano / Casalabate, flooded);
- traffic accidents with motorists stranded and the involvement of several cars including a van with volunteers;
- flooding of urban and suburban area of the City of Salento fields determines the isolation of various dwellings, of a Hotel "Farm Land of the Fathers", (for a total of approximately 80 residents) - as well as a factory (involving 40-45 people); it will be need to evaluate the opportunity to vacate the buildings by bringing in safe place people involved;
- Blackouts caused by flooding of underground cabin (more details are received from referent ENEL); Hospital blackout fields of Salento, assistance and relief to people connected to electro-medical equipment, resulting in interruption delivery idricopotabile for a large urban area;
- Collapse of part of a farmhouse "Masseria Marra," vicinal Hawks, due to a lightning. Nell'occorso, it is possible to involve visiting a school of education. Will evaluate the opportunity to search for missing persons. It will also be necessary to clear the stables and to intervene veterinary services (including in relation to death of livestock).
As regards the waiting area has been identified an area alternative to the sports field (already identified in the municipal emergency planning) as being too close to the area flooded. Therefore, the gathering area will be the exhibition center, with approximately 2,840 m² numerous parks and capable of a quick and convenient traffic. E 'can also take advantage of the Area in front of the headquarters of Detachment Fire Department Volunteers of Salento fields for the concentration of the means of relief Fire Department. Activates the COC groups concerned with the Municipal Civil Protection, the regional offices and operation of the common and the COM fields of Salento. The Prefecture of Understanding with the Province (Office Civil Protection), activates the Operations Room at the Prefecture and the CCS, which also involves the Roads Service and the Office of the Provincial Mobility, ASL and 118, the Fire Brigade and the Fire Volunteers, the Red Cross, the Police and in particular the Police of the Society of Salento fields, the various operators of essential services such as ENEL, TELECOM, the representative Consortium of Reclamation Arneo, ARI for emergency communications alternatives and possible other operational structures and ANAS.
Province of Taranto
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 100/109
The area includes the municipalities of Crispiano with an area of approximately 111 km ² and a population of 12,973 inhabitants, Statte with an area of about 92 km ² and a population of Taranto 14,585 inhabitants and an area of about 217 km ² and a population of about 202,000 inhabitants.
May 28 is simulated by the CFC, the issuance of notice of adverse weather conditions. The heavy rainfall will determine waterways of the province range levels higher than the average recorded in the period. The final notice of adverse weather conditions, provides further deterioration due to heavy storms on the western part of the Province of Taranto and Bari, in particular in the territory of the town of Noci, Mottola, Massafra Palagiano, and towns of Martina Franca, Crispiano and Statte with probable flooding of the rivers Lenne (Territory Palagiano) and Tara River (territory of Taranto). Substantial quantities of debris carried by the waters of the rivers and canals could determining a clogging of the ducts present and therefore cause phenomena of type uncontrolled flood of a large area of the territory concerned. The event is described, whose probability of occurrence in recent years has significantly increased, may determine from North to South of the Province the following phenomena: a) landslides nell'alveo of the ravines; b) on the road and rail network interruptions caused by flooding is that the accumulation of detrital material; c) flooding of agricultural areas with damage to production facilities and those anthropogenic (rural housing, agricultural storage of vehicles, equipment, products, articles for the shelter of animals); d) flooding of urbanized area with particular reference to the basements and underground of dwellings, and commercial and industrial buildings, public buildings, and in particular those in strategic nature; e) pollution of water pipes, clogging of pipes fognare, disruption of plants purification, f) occlusion of the mouths of rivers. The scenario involving the City of Crispiano: in the northern part of the town and in particular road junction formed by the street Martina Franca, from the ring hollow D'Oro, Palermo and away from the provincial road no. 44, due to the conveyance of large quantities of rainwater not channeled, is anticipating a flooding such as to block the vehicular and pedestrian traffic, hence the consequent urgency of evacuate the Technical Commercial Institute for Accountants "Leonardo Da Vinci" located at the corner of said road junction. The school consists of the following members:
- N. 130 pupils;
- N. 30 between teachers and non-teaching staff.
The area subject to flooding embraces an area of approximately 150 000 m² and from the point of view Height is situated at an altitude of about 251 m above sea level.
As regards the structure of the shelter location identified is the Institute F. Severini (consisting a gym and no. 2 complexes prepared on n. 2-level) located at a much higher altitude (259 m above sea level) and secure than the Technical Institute. Evacuation priority will be given to persons with disabilities and persons with any temporary disability. Important and indispensable work that will take place on the Municipal Police of the City of Crispiano for the management of private vehicles that convey both relief and with the aid of hurdles that impede access to the flooded area. The communication of the event will arrive from the territory to one or more operating rooms of institutional forces in charge of the rescue and / or utility. The scenery of the town of Statte involves the flooding of the river Tara, whose level exceeds the embankments in different traits due to the amount of water coming from the ravine Leucaspide. You are experiencing flooding, in contrada "mullet" with the interruption of
D7.1 Requirement specifications and Scenario of the Pilot Application– Page 101/109
provincial roads and vicinal that require activation of "gates" and the use of alternative roads. The flooded areas are rural and lack of housing. The COC is made at the building Municipal Statte. The scenery of the town of Taranto provides for the failure of a bank near the bridge site on State Road 106 at km 432 of the Taranto-Reggio Calabria causes:
- The flooding of the surrounding countryside;
- The interruption, for a distance of approximately 700 m, the SS 106.
The failure of a further stretch dammed near the mouth of the river Lenne has determined the flooding of an urban area in resort "Lido Azzurro" by requiring the evacuation of about 100 families.
The material deposited on the SS 106 in the affected section dall'esondazione is due to an accident road with the flip of a autociterna carrying flammable liquid (diesel), of which approximately 700 l pour over the grounds.
Main critical issue
The main critical issues identified during the exercise are:
- Shortage of staff for operations room that requires 24 hour shifts. The experienced staff is also a fixed-term contract due within one year.
- Difficulty in defining the situation and the amount of resources in the field.
- Absence in Crisis Unit of a referent of Health, the Regional Agency for Mobility and administrative support, which denotes the difficulty of structuring the decision-making body sufficiently represented by the crisis with regional staff, both internal and external.
- The lack of a crisis unit in contact ENEL, the presence of which would be helpful to provide a direct communication with the contact of the Terna.
- The dual responsibility of the same person as coordinator of volunteer work as well as responsible for the operations room made it difficult if not impossible to focus on the coordination of volunteers.
- Communication with CCS has been rather fragmented.
- Due to the setting of fixed telephony in the Unit of crisis enabled for outgoing calls only, the personnel present is mainly used cell phones.
- The lack of function of mass media information or a press officer with the task of welcoming journalists, prepare and publish press releases.
- The crisis unit is not to take decisions but has collected information often playing the role of the operating room.
Warning system
