National Campaign. Rainfall Extremes in Italy

• To engage regional meteorological offices, municipal planners, and environmental NGOs to recognize rising rainfall extremes in Italy.

• Bring together civil protection agencies, water managers, and community organizations to discuss observed spatial and temporal patterns of ordinary and extreme rainfall.

• Encourage dialogue using short reports, maps, and visualizations highlighting areas most affected by changing precipitation patterns.

• Invite local authorities and civil protection units to adopt non-binding “Rainfall Monitoring Snapshots,” sharing simple metrics on rainfall extremes.

• Encourage posting brief visual updates online and tracking trends in short-duration and long-duration rainfall events.

• Promote replication by allowing other municipalities to document and share rainfall data to enhance local preparedness awareness.
