The SIMAGE ProjectObjective

Design, realization and implementation of cost-effective, operating, lasting integrated systems in highly industrialized areas for:

– monitoring and management of environmental emergencies: industrial accident and air pollution and)

– information exchange concerning industrial risk, air, water, soil, networked with the major existing Italian risk areas.

– the planning and management of emergencies associated with industrial accidents or transportation of dangerous goods

Transport of dangerous goods Call for tender: realisation and installation of a pilot system for the control of hazardous goods transport in the Italian provinces of Brindisi, Taranto and Venice

Objectives:• to monitor, in a near real-time

manner, the transportation of hazardous goods in Italy, in particular in the three industrial areas of Brindisi, Taranto and Porto Marghera,

• to monitor and control the risk posed by their transportation,

• to provide early warnings in case of emergency associated with these goods and

• to support to the management of the transportation hazardous goods in case of emergency.

Emergency Management System (EMS)

• Objective– provide support to the relevant institutional bodies for the

management of emergencies associated with industrial accidents and transportation by road of dangerous substances

• High-level requirements– compatible with procedures of Civil Protection Authorities– installed physically close-by the official Emergency

Rooms– covers the standby, pre-alarm and alarm stages, and also

training and post-emergency analysis activities– integrates analytical methods and tools recognized by

Italian authorities– connected functionally with environmental network,

camera management and fleet management systems

HARIA-2*, a Methodology for Emergency Planning

(supported by the National Research Council under the sponsorship of the Italian Civil Protection Department).

AIM OF HARIA-2 (1998-2002): modeling and simulation of dynamic systems interacting during a severe accident in chemical and petrochemical industries:

• Physical System: accidents that could impact the surrounding environment

• Territorial and Social System: population and other targets that could be affected by the accident

• Civil Protection System: rescue services and resources available for consequence mitigation

• Output of the project: a set of models and tools for the analysis and optimization of emergency plans
