All 187 alert zones are green. Civil Protection only assesses hydrogeological and hydraulic criticalities.
The national hydrogeological and hydraulic criticality bulletin, updated today at 14:37, reports no alerts across Italian territory. All 187 monitoring zones are classified as "green," the lowest level, indicating no significant phenomena expected that could cause landslides, flooding, or river and stream overflows.
The Civil Protection Department, together with the regional functional centers, publishes this assessment daily by 4:00 PM. The bulletin is not a simple weather forecast but estimates the possible ground effects of rain and storms. For today, Thursday, October 29, 2026, no risk situations are anticipated.
Alerts across the territory fall under the jurisdiction of the Regions and Municipalities. In case of emergency, the single number to contact is 112. The data comes from the Civil Protection Department and is open data under a CC BY 4.0 license.
The Italian weather-hydrological alert system was established to prevent and manage damage caused by extreme meteorological events, such as landslides and floods, which have historically affected the country. Unlike traditional weather forecasts, this system specifically assesses the impact that rainfall may have on the territory, also considering factors such as soil saturation or river levels.
The organization is multi-tiered. The National Department of Civil Protection daily prepares the Meteorological Vigilance Bulletin and synthesizes the National Criticality/Alert Bulletin, based on assessments from individual Regions and Autonomous Provinces. These entities, in turn, issue local alerts. Mayors are responsible for activating municipal civil protection plans and informing citizens.
The bulletin uses a four-color scale to indicate risk: green (no alert), yellow (ordinary criticality, localized issues), orange (moderate criticality, possible more extensive damage), and red (high criticality, severe and widespread effects). The assessment refers exclusively to hydrogeological, hydraulic, and thunderstorm risks, excluding other hazards such as snow, strong winds, avalanches, storm surges, or heatwaves.
