The Protezione Civile (Civil Protection) department is the national body in Italy that deals with the prediction, prevention and management of exceptional events.
The term "Protezione Civile" outlines all the facilities and activities used by the state to protect the sake of life, the properties, the settlements and the environment from damages and dangers caused by natural catastrophes.
In order to cope with the risky and difficult situations, the Protezione Civile needs a great deal of volunteers and all the other existing forces. The current chief is Franco Gabrielli, a former police and intelligence officer.
