	%X ICT tools and platforms endorse more and more
educational process. Many models and techniques for people to
be educated and trained about specific topics and skills do exist,
as classroom lectures with textbooks, computers, handheld devices
and others. The choice to what extent ICT is applied within
learning contexts is related to personal access to technologies as
well as to the infrastructure surrounding environment. Among recent
techniques, the adoption of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented
Reality (AR) provides significant impulse in fully engaging users
senses. In this paper, an application of AR/VR within Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) context is presented. It aims to provide
immersive environment experiences for educational and training
purposes (e.g. for civil protection personnel), useful especially for
situations where real scenarios are not easily accessible by humans.
First acknowledgments are promising for building an effective tool
that helps civil protection personnel training with risk reduction.
