On November 7, 2016 the INGV partner made a drill of E-preS Project at S. G. Battista Primary School inside the city of Naples (Italy). The S. G. Battista Primary School is hosted by a building made of three floors: a basement, a ground floor and a first floor (figure 1). The main exit is at ground floor and the secondary exit is at basement. At basement are placed a gym, the refectory and a little deposit; at ground floor are three classrooms, a computer laboratory, a toilet, the porter’s lodge and the direction; at first floor are two classrooms, the staff room and a toilet. All the floors are connected by two different stairs.

Before the drill the INGV team distributed the passive tags and made a brief explanation to the students of all the classrooms about the E-preS System and its role during the drill. A very simple brochure about E-preS Project was also distributed (see Appendix A). of
At the beginning of the drill all the students were in the classrooms and nobody was in the gym, deposit, staff room and refectory. Staff persons and Director were at ground floor.
