Italy is conducting large-scale civil protection exercises to test emergency responsiveness to simulated seismic events. In the Friuli region, the Civil Protection Department organized an interregional and transborder exercise to mark the 50th anniversary of the 1976 earthquake. This simulation involves a 5.7 magnitude earthquake centered in Gemona del Friuli and includes coordination with partners in Austria, Croatia, and Slovenia. The exercise features the activation of the regional emergency coordination center in Palmanova and the establishment of a field tent city. In the Reggio Emilia area, the ‘Sisma Bassa Reggiana 2026’ drill will simulate simulated a 5.9 magnitude earthquake. This On October 2, 2026, authorities conducted this large-scale simulation involving over 12,000 people across eight municipalities, including Reggiolo and Guastalla. The exercise specifically involves included participation from the Civil Protection, Red Cross, Firefighters, law enforcement, and local healthcare facilities in services. In Guastalla, the Guastalla District, where acoustic alarms will be activated to test alert procedures simulation focused on a large-scale medical rescue operation at a community hospital, involving structural collapse scenarios and the movement evacuation of personnel to assembly points. While simulated casualties. In Reggiolo, the drill tests territorial response capacity, included the orderly evacuation of students from local medical services are expected middle schools. Roberto Angeli, president of the Unione Bassa Reggiana, noted that the exercise reflects a shift in regional preparedness compared to continue with only minor delays. the 2012 earthquake, emphasizing more detailed emergency plans. The simulation aimed to identify critical gaps in coordination and improve rescue systems for future real-world emergencies.
