The course aims to provide the student with the theoretical skills necessary to understand the civil protection system at various levels, from the local to the national one, and how geophysical skills can be put at its service.
D1 - Knowledge and understanding: at the end of the course, students will have to know the founding structure of the civil protection system and what are the geophysical skills that can be put to service
D2 - Applying knowledge and understanding: the student must be able to suggest geophysical methodological solutions for monitoring potentially harmful phenomena for civil protection purposes.
D3 - Making judgments: the student must be able to autonomously establish the appropriate choices for the achievement of the monitoring objectives, as well as to identify the best methodology/s according to the detail required and the geological complexity of the event
D4 - Communication skills: the student must be able to describe the main results of the work carried out with appropriate technical and professional language
D5 – Learning skills: The student will acquire skills that will allow him to autonomously perfect his scientific and professional training in order to maintain an adequate level of skills with methods of permanent training (continuing education) in a disciplinary area of considerable importance for the purposes of civil protection and with strong interdisciplinary effects (interaction with structural engineers).

NO

The course is divided into different didactic units. In particular, the following topics will be addressed:
- Historical notes on the evolution and organization of civil protection at local, regional, national, and international level
- General concepts such as risk, hazard, vulnerability, damage (serviceability limit states), prevention, protection
- The role of research/researchers in the field of civil protection
- Geophysics for seismic risk: permanent monitoring networks (national and cross-border), hints of seismic microzonation and CLE (emergency limit conditions), temporary seismic networks and post-event interventions, measurements on structures for quantifying damage, use mobile mapping for a quick estimate of post-event impact
- Geophysics for geo-hydrological risk: multiparameter monitoring systems and networks
- Geophysics for volcanic risk: multiparameter monitoring systems and networks
The course also includes at least two visits to civil protection offices or research institutions that have active collaborations with the National Civil Protection

- Decreto Legislativo n.1 del 2 gennaio 2018: Codice della protezione civile

.

The course encompasses frontal lessons and the visits to civil protection offices or research institutions that have active collaborations with the National Civil Protection.

The evaluation of the student will take place through an oral interview on all the topics covered in the course starting from the discussion of a real case. The student will have to demonstrate being able to critically analyse an emergency situation, as well as the basic knowledge and concepts acquired. The score of the exam is attributed by means of a vote expressed out of thirty. To pass the exam (18/30) the student must demonstrate that he/she has acquired sufficient knowledge of all the topics covered in the course. To achieve the maximum score (30/30 cum laude), the student must instead demonstrate that he/she has acquired an excellent knowledge of all the topics covered during the course as well as being able to apply them through reasoning to real case studies.
