On 17–19 June 2026, a representative of the State Authority for Geospatial Information participated in the international activity “Damage and Loss Assessment in Emergency Context after Flood Events”, organized by the Italian Department of Civil Protection, with the participation of experts from Albania, Montenegro and Palestine.
The focus of this activity was the management of the processes of assessing damages and losses after floods, the legal and institutional procedures of emergency management, as well as the practices of planning and inter-institutional coordination in the post-emergency phase.
During this study visit, the participants were introduced to the Italian national civil protection system, the procedures for declaring a state of emergency, the mechanisms for assessing needs and measures for overcoming emergency situations.
The program continued in the Emilia-Romagna Region and Val di Sambro where the delegation held institutional meetings with the Regional Civil Protection Agency and visits to the areas affected by the floods of 2023–2024. The participants were closely acquainted with the interventions carried out on the Idice and Lamone rivers, the post-event assessment processes, the coordination practices between local and regional authorities as well as the management of landslides and the measures taken to reduce risk.
Participation in this activity contributes to strengthening the professional capacities of the participating institutions in the field of damage assessment, recovery planning and risk management from natural disasters.
