In a pivotal moment for public safety, Italy is set to put its cutting-edge IT-Alert system to the ultimate test on Thursday, January 25, at 12 PM local time in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region. The trial, encompassing locations such as Aiello del Friuli, Visco, Palmanova, and San Vito al Torre, aims to assess the system’s responsiveness and effectiveness in real-world emergency scenarios.
This state-of-the-art IT-Alert system, designed to rapidly inform the public about major emergencies or ongoing catastrophic events, will undergo rigorous scrutiny as it edges closer to full operational readiness.
