2 Essential 1 Put in place organization and coordination to understand and reduce disaster risk, based on participation of citizen groups and civil society. Build local alliances. Ensure that all departments understand their role to disaster risk reduction and preparedness. How well are local organizations (including local government) equipped with capacities (knowledge, experience, official mandate) for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation? Conception as climate change and civil protection measures against natural phenomena, the municipality of casarza Ligurian started at raising the public on the issue of recycling succeeding since 2009, to reach today at the 45% with the goal of achieving 50% by To reduce CO2 emissions into the environment have been reduced by reorganizing the public lighting poles, light poles were installed solarpowered and have installed energy saving light bulbs. In addition, the municipality has made??a pact to promote the use of bicycles along the cycle paths existing in the schools (and Bicibus pedabus). On the subject of civil protection has created the office of civil protection, with the task of creating the first municipal civil protection plan and organize, manage the municipal structure and risks as well as volunteering. To what extent do partnerships exist between communities, private sector and local authorities to reduce risk? Level of Progress achieved: 3 Has initiated a process of collaboration between the municipal authorities and traders and companies in the area. This path you want to take and to increase awareness on the part of individuals to rules of conduct and safety measures to be implemented if there is a risk. (such as sandbags or flood barriers). You want to participate in voluntary initiatives by versole schools. This work is the beginning of a long journey to be undertaken. First cycle of Local HFA ( ) 2/22

3 How much does the local government support vulnerable local communities (particularly women, elderly, infirmed, children) to actively participate in risk reduction decision-making, policy making, planning and implementation processes? Level of Progress achieved: 3 As for the children you want to accomplish an educational project in which children once learned the basics about the various types of risks, posing themselves realize the plan for the school and the area where they live. For the other categories, the municipal service of civil protection provides ample opportunity to dialogue with all kinds of local reality (associations, traders, etc.). To what extent does the local government participate in the national DRR planning? Level of Progress achieved: 1 The City participates updating of regional maps, but it is a point to be improved. First cycle of Local HFA ( ) 3/22

4 Essential 2 Assign a budget for disaster risk reduction and provide incentives for homeowners, low-income families, communities, businesses and public sector to invest in reducing the risks they face. How far does the local government have access to adequate financial resources to carry out risk reduction activities? Level of Progress achieved: 1 The point at which the municipality can get to draw resources from the institutions of higher education as the region or ministry are few. Most of the resources come from its own budget. To what degree does the local government allocate sufficient financial resources to carry out DRR activities, including effective disaster response and recovery? Level of Progress achieved: 2 If this assessment, the set out on a numerical scale from 1 to 100, the municipality participates with its own resources to 80%. While it is of 100% to overcome the emergency. For a fundamental part of the town is to intervene through its municipal workers, and then uses the local volunteer who assists him logistically. For a 50% ask for help to firefighters who come from outside the municipality.

7 Essential 3 Maintain up-to-date data on hazards and vulnerabilities, prepare risk assessments and use these as the basis for urban development plans and decisions. Ensure that this information and the plans for your city's resilience are readily available to the public and fully discussed with them. To what degree does the local government conducted thorough disaster risk assessments for key vulnerable development sectors in your local authority? Let's say at a good level, since 2009 has been in progress for in-depth study on the municipal territory especially towards those more prone to the occurrence of particular phenomena in their severity and intensity. Ultimately formed the basis for the study of landslide slopes at high risk involving geological and civil engineers to understand the problem To what extent are these risk assessments regularly updated, e.g. annually or on a bi-annual basis? Level of Progress achieved: 5 Action is carried out at least every year of study, but in total you get to develop even more in-depth study of five measures of the municipality during the year. How regularly does the local government communicate to the community, information on local hazard trends and risk reduction measures (e.g. using a Risk Communications Plan) including early warnings of likely hazard impact? First cycle of Local HFA ( ) 7/22

How adequately are critical public facilities and infrastructure located in high risk areas assessed for all hazard risks and safety? Level of Progress achieved: 2 There is still much to be done to the infrastructure situation in areas of high risk (eg flood and landslide but also seismic). Our municipality is working on the demolition of a bridge over that will not be built and that garantirù its elimination, a less obstacle on the water main through our territory. Other measures concerning infrastructure in areas at high risk are being tested by technicians study and among them there is the First cycle of Local HFA ( ) 9/22

Action is taken to improve the drainage network collecting the water and conveying it to the natural flow of water, leaving them natural without human intervention at the level of overbuilding of their bed. Action is taken to improve the forests of prorpietà dellente municipal entrusted to local farms for the production of forest products and biomass. How much do civil society organizations and citizens participate in the restoration, protection and sustainable management of ecosystems services?

Our town also has a good service availability of specific communication entrusted to municipal staff. How regularly are training drills and rehearsal carried out with the participation of relevant government, non-governmental, local leaders and volunteers? The exercises are widespread adherence by staff of the civil protection system and from the people you are starting from last year to assess the positive. How available are key resources for effective response, such as emergency supplies, emergency shelters, identified evacuation routes and contingency plans at all times? First cycle of Local HFA ( ) 19/22

20 Stockpiles of relief supplies Emergency shelters Safe evacuation routes identified Contingency plan or community disaster preparedness plan for all major hazards Our municipality has previously identified areas of waiting for rescue volunteers of civil defense and rescue workers and reception areas for the population to safe areas. These areas have been disclosed to the public and have been tested through special exercises. Were also purchased materials such as blankets, cots, mattresses and you are making the purchase of tents.
