Rome has a coordinated plan for emergency response teams and law enforcement in the event of a terrorist attack, especially in light of the coming Jubilee Year which is expected to draw millions of religious pilgrims to the Eternal City.
    In an exclusive look on Wednesday, ANSA reviewed the document in which the plan is detailed, and highlights the Colosseum and St. Peter's Square as the two most important "hot" zones in terms of risk of attack.
    If an attack were to hit in the area of the Colosseum, the response plan calls for intervention from the Central Security Operations Service (NOCS), the Secret Service (Digos), fire fighters, civil protection, and ambulances, all ready to move between what the plan designates as "hot" zones and "tepid" zones.
    If a bomb is involved in an attack, the first responders are the fire department's Nuclear Biological Chemical Radiological (NBCR) teams.
    Various points within the historical centre are designated as landing sites for air ambulances, including Circus Maximus.
    The plan also designates points for stationing emergency rescue teams and ambulances to take patients to specific area hospitals.
    All of the contingency plans in the document also outline traffic viability management throughout the city, to allow emergency vehicles to reach the "hot" and "tepid" zones rapidly.
    In short, the plan is a sort of "gear-shift" operational system that can change the coordinated response based on the place of the attack, with the overall aim of limiting potential damage and bloodshed.
