Use of GIS technique and the Decisions Support Systems (DSS) in the analysis of hydrogeological risks for the emergency management in real-time | Utilizzo delle tecniche GIS e di Sistemi di Supporto alle Decisioni (DSS) nell'analisi dei rischi idrogeologici nella gestione delle emergenze in tempo reale

The main aim of this work is developing new technologies for managing emergencies in the field of Civil Protection. In Italy and in Lombardy there are many lows that govern the management of emergencies and give directives to guide the implementation of municipal emergency plans for the Civil Defence. The innovative aspect of this research is to combine the potential of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), of Decisions Support Systems (DSS) and of the most modern mobile technologies (for communication) for the emergency management in a real-time. For this work is used a software called PETer (developed by Globo Srl), a geographic information system that is able to integrate different kind of information. This software allows us to manage all the information that are necessary to the implementation of an emergency plan and is able to give guidelines for overcoming it. In this way all the involved people are able to know what they have to do in all the phases of the emergency. The potential of the software is being consultable, easy usable and upgradeable.
