The whole region was deeply affected and the local authorities decided to make a pilot project, in cooperation with the district development company (IDETA), the Major Risk Research Centre and a safety specialised company. The aim is to set up a Global Safety Plan to promote the safety of the town. In order to achieve the objectives of the project,firstly companies were informed about the project. Then all the data have to be collected and indexed and the risks analyzed according to the identified dangers. Finally, the emergency plans was evaluated and coordinated in order to determine the possible scenarios and to deduce the reaction instructions, both internal and external.
