Waste management between emergency and prevention: at REAS 2024 the conference promoted by the magazine “112Emergencies”

“Waste management between emergency and prevention: the role of Civil Protection volunteers”. This is the title of the conference scheduled for Saturday 5 October as part of REAS 2024, promoted by the magazine “112Emergencies” and coordinated by the director Luigi Rigo.

The topic is highly topical. Emergency waste management, in fact, requires a structured approach to avoid environmental damage and reduce disposal costs. When clearing houses, basements and industrial areas, it is essential to sort waste homogeneously and manage hazardous materials, such as paints and oils, with specific skills to prevent environmental contamination, for example by avoiding the release of contaminated water into waterways.

In this context, Civil Protection Volunteers play a fundamental role, but it is essential that they are adequately trained and supported by competent personnel, in compliance with current regulations. Their training must include knowledge on the management of hazardous waste, sorting techniques and safety measures to prevent pollution.

The conference will offer an important opportunity for discussion on this topic, with the participation of important speakers and representatives of the institutions.
