Description
SafeER was developed for the public bodies of the Unione delle Terre d’Argine (the Union and the municipalities of Carpi, Campogalliano, Novi di Modena and Soliera, in the province of Modena), and can be used by any municipality or organization in Emilia-Romagna by selecting its alert zone.
SafeER is an independent third-party plugin by Maurizio Malagoli (malamaur). It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or developed by the Emilia-Romagna Region or the Allerta Meteo Emilia-Romagna service; it only displays the public data they publish.
The plugin reads the CAP (Common Alerting Protocol) feed published by Allerta Meteo Emilia-Romagna
(https://allertameteo.regione.emilia-romagna.it/o/xmlcap) and displays, for the selected alert zone:
- the overall alert level (green, yellow, orange, red) with the day it refers to;
- the level of each phenomenon: hydraulic, hydrogeological, thunderstorms, wind, snow,
extreme temperatures, freezing rain, sea state and coastal storms (the last two only for coastal zones); - today and, once it has been issued, tomorrow;
- bulletin number, issue date and the notes of each bulletin in a pop-up window;
- a legend of the 18 regional alert zones and, optionally, a link to the regional portal (off by default).
Data is cached (30 minutes by default). If the regional service is unreachable, the last valid copy is shown with a notice.
The user interface of the plugin is in Italian, as it is meant for municipalities in Emilia-Romagna.

FAQ
-
Which alert zone should I choose?
-
Each municipality belongs to one of the 18 regional zones (A1 to H2). For example, the municipalities
of the Unione delle Terre d’Argine (Carpi, Campogalliano, Novi di Modena, Soliera) are in zone F1.
Check the regional portal if in doubt. -
Why is tomorrow’s column empty?
-
The bulletin for the next day is usually issued during the previous day. Until it is published,
the column shows “N.D.” (not available).
