Climate actions
Risk of meteorological events concerns the probability of detrimental consequences on persons, properties, agricultural and other economic activities, and animals due to extreme meteorological phenomena like hail, fog, tornadoes, hurricanes, snow and intense rainfall. The danger of these events is related to the fact that they can cause both direct and indirect risk situations like: floods, rivers overflowing; frosts (due to ice), car crash (caused by fog and ice), flooding of areas where there are industries that treat toxic or noxious compounds, that could pollute groundwater or the source of potable water (risk of potable resources). These kinds of phenomena are predictable, so the continuous monitoring of meteorological conditions is important in order to allow a preventive action. Availability of monitoring and protection system updated.
