The system of National Functional Centers represents a network of cooperation and collaboration between different bodies with a single great objective: the protection and resilience of the territory and the population. The Functional Centre of Aosta Valley collaborates on the front line with the Civil Protection Department, with many regional structures and services such as the Department of Planning, Water Resources and Territory, the Environment Department, the Agriculture Department, the Aosta Valley Forestry Corps, the Functional Centres of other Italian regions, French and Swiss local administrations for the management of cross-border risks and agencies that manage risk planning for the Po District, which includes also the Valle d'Aosta region. In particular, we collaborate with Arpa Valle d'Aosta and the Fondazione Montagna Sicura on several activities related to the natural risks and the environment.

WE COLLABORATE WITH RESEARCH CENTERS TO IMPROVE OUR MONITORING AND FORECASTING SYSTEM
Aosta Valley stands out from other regions for the quantity and quality of data concerning meteorology, hydrology, and land characterization. This large database makes the region particularly attractive for research projects. At the Functional Center we collaborate with various institutions, such as the CIMA Foundation, the University and Polytechnic of Turin, the University of Milan, the University of Florence, French research centers (including BRGM and Météo France), Swiss (Crealp, SLF of Davos, Meteo Suisse) and from other Alpine areas.
In collaboration with research centers, we test new monitoring and detection technologies in order to create increasingly precise and efficient analysis and forecasting systems. In addition, our technicians are authors of scientific publications on models related to landslides, debris flows, floods and warning systems.
