External Communications

An essential aspect of the operative management of emergency situations is effective communication with the press. Providing citizens with accurate and timely information avoids the spread of unfounded rumours and facilitates the task of those concerned, in Rome and in the specific local area concerned, with rescue operations.

As situations evolve the press is supplied with all the necessary updates regarding government interventions on behalf of the Italian nationals involved and their families, as well as on concrete developments in the situation. The work of the foreign ministry press and information service is to ensure a continuous operational link, which is essential to the completion of this delicate task.
