Security, Palazzo Chigi: “Protocol already in place; an email alert alone does not trigger an evacuation”

Rome, 12 Nov. (LaPresse) – “During the meeting of the Interministerial Committee for the Security of the Republic (CISR), convened for this afternoon at a technical level, a common operational protocol for handling alarm reports will be defined”. This is stated in a note from Palazzo Chigi. “The protocol, which is already in operation, applies to all public authorities and provides, as a general rule, that, in the absence of concrete evidence beyond the mere receipt of a mass email that would suggest a danger exists, buildings shall not be evacuated. The Prefect retains the power to order evacuation measures should he or she have specific and concrete evidence indicating a situation of actual risk,” the statement concludes.
