The use case: Flooding risk management
Stakeholders:
▪ Italian Civil Defence Organization (as Client)
▪ Public administration of Lugo (RA), Emilia Romagna
Idea:
Creating a system for both:
▪ Monitoring the 3 rivers water levels
▪ Overview the status of potentially critical facilities (hospitals, schools, farms, …)
▪ Coordinate the rescue activities in case of floodings

The implementation: Digital Enabler
Digital Enabler™ is a cloud native scalable platform to collect and give value to data
scattered in heterogeneous data sources.
It speeds up the development of new domain specific applications and Digital Twins,
provides developers with serverless tools to run code and develop AI models, provides non
technical users with graphical tools to design and monitor processes as well as to integrate
and harmonize data, deducts new information from data and automatically detects trends
thanks to AI models and a ready to use catalogue of algorithms. [...]

The implementation: other from FIWARE
▪ The data format NGSI v2 has been used as exchange data format across the entire
system
▪ Several Smart Data Models have been used:
• PointOfInterest
• AccessPoint
• Public Transport Stop
• Store
• Building
• Alert
• KeyPerformanceIndicator
• Vehicles
• IssueTracking
• WeatherObserved
> Tomorrow I’ll deep dive about the data models used in this use case during the “Smart Data Models Per Domain” session. Don’t miss it.
