Definition of a joint operational protocol for the management of alerts

During this afternoon’s technical meeting of the Interministerial Committee for the Security of the Republic (‘CISR’), a joint operational protocol will be drawn up for the management of alerts. The protocol, already operational, applies to all public administrations, and it states, as a general guideline, that buildings should not be evacuated unless there is concrete evidence, other than a simple mass email, suggesting a danger exists. This is without prejudice to a Prefect’s authority to order evacuation measures should they have specific and concrete evidence indicating a genuine risk.
