Emergency Management Programme (EMP)

Risk prevention and management in SMEs

The Emergency Management Programme (EMP) aims to promote the culture of risk prevention and management in SMEs and local institutions and to support businesses and communities to cope with the emergency phases following a natural disaster.

PGE can count on a structured collaboration over time with the National Civil Protection Department (DPC) thanks to the partnership - created at the input of Piccola Industria - formalised by the Memorandum of Understanding with the DPC in 2016 and renewed subsequently. The agreement - recognised by the UN as an international best practice of public-private partnership - aims to respond effectively to emergencies by supporting, in particular, business continuity, and to promote widespread awareness in the country on prevention, preparedness and risk management capabilities.

The various actions of the PGE - coordinated by Piccola Industria Confindustria and operating through a retand territorial and sectoral representatives of the Confindustria System - consist of:

coordinated emergency support to support business continuity and, through the DPC, the needs of the community;
promotion of the culture of safety and resilience in businesses and communities, including through events, initiatives and projects;
definition of policy proposals to support the securing of enterprises and territories.
