Understanding

“Mettiamoci al sicuro — Conto su di te” (“Let’s Get to Safety — I’m Counting on You”) is a Civil Protection project designed for schools to teach children and young people how to behave in emergency situations. It was created out of the need to talk about safety in a simple, positive, and non-alarming way.
