On Wednesday, June 3, Italy will present one of the world’s most advanced civil protection systems.

This has led to the development of a highly sophisticated crisis management system supported by more than 750,000 registered volunteers and over 35,000 organizations.
In addition to demonstrations and live simulations during the morning, visitors can look forward to a high-level conference program at the INTERSCHUTZ Forum from 3:00 p.m. onwards. Experts such as Andrea Giovannoni, Head of the Emergency Centres and Logistics Operational Unit and Edoardo Cavalieri d'Oro, Head of the NBCR Unit - Nuclear, Biological, Chemical and Radiological will discuss operational command, logistics and response strategies for nuclear, biological and chemical incidents.
