Public Warning Systems

The Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications should establish and maintain a single Union wide database of means of access to emergency services that are mandated and technically feasible to be used by roaming end users in all Member States. Such a database would help national operators, national regulatory authorities and, where applicable, other competent authorities, to be informed of all these means of access to emergency services deployed within the Union.

Italy Public Cell Broadcast IT-alert. The system uses the CAP (Common Alerting Protocol), in the Italian CAP-IT profile. The system can release the messages produced in an open format, always using other standard formats (json, rss), in order to be able in future to re-launch the IT-alert messages also on digital motorway billboards, control rooms, television but also on social networks. The system is currently in an experimental and testing phase and pilot region tests have been organized and are being organised.
