Abstract: In the field of architecture and planning, safety measures aimed at preventing the effects of natural and human-made hazards have become an fundamental part of professionals’ cultural toolkit. In construction, increasingly advanced techniques are being applied to buildings (often mandated by law) to mitigate the effects of natural and human-made agents. In planning, interventions are designed to counteract the devastating phenomena caused by natural risks and climate change, seeking to mitigate and reduce their effects while enhancing territorial resilience. In this context, Civil Protection planning plays a crucial role. This study explores on the current sectoral regulations in Italy and examines how these are applied specifically to the case study of the Campi Flegrei, Napoli.
