The schedule

Esercitazione Exe Flegrei

The event scenario for Exe Flegrei 2025 is based on the volcanic conditions experienced during the October 2024 exercise. This scenario involves declaring a "pre-eruptive" red alert level and initiating the operational phase of alarm. This phase includes implementing all necessary measures to evacuate the population from the entire red zone of the Phlegraean Fields.

The schedule outlines activities planned for November 5 and 6, addressing the described scenario at both full scale and command posts.
