The Department of firefighters, public rescue and civil defence ([http://www.vigilfuoco.it/aspx/Page.aspx?IdPage=5374 Dipartimento dei Vigili del Fuoco, del Soccorso Pubblico e della Difesa Civile] ) of the Italian Ministry of the Interior adopted the CAP protocol with two Ministerial Decrees in [http://www.vigilfuoco.it/aspx/ReturnDocument.aspx?IdDocumento=4859 2008] and [http://www.vigilfuoco.it/aspx/ReturnDocument.aspx?IdDocumento=4855 2011.] Since then, its 100 provincial control rooms, 18 regional control rooms and the National control centre exchange an average of 25,000 CAP daily private messages concerning rescue operations in real time.
As per the decrees, any emergency stakeholder in Italy which wants to exchange or share data with the Fire Corps in the course of large scale emergency or rescue operations has to adopt the CAP protocol.
The first use of CAP protocol in a civil protection activity has been recorded in 2009, in the aftermath of the Central Italy Earthquake, when the Fire Corps exchanged data with the Ministry for Cultural Heritage to coordinate their efforts in designing and implementing provisional measures for monuments and historical buildings.
