Phlegraean Fields, while bradyseism gives no respite, Basilicata has implemented the hospitality plan for any displaced people from the Bagnoli district. In fact, shelter areas for over eleven thousand people and a car park for five thousand cars have been identified in the Municipality of Potenza. The Lucanian regional council approved a Civil Protection plan for transfer and reception of the population of the Neapolitan neighborhood, in the event of evacuation following an eruptive event in the Campi Flegrei. Where, in the last 15 days, the ground has risen by two centimeters and the alert remains as demonstrated by the tremors felt even on the eve of April 25th.
According to the plan for the reception in the medium and long term of the people possibly transferred, in addition to public infrastructures, they were accommodation facilities identified in various municipalities in the Potentino and Matera areas. «This form of interregional collaboration demonstrates how planning and cooperation can improve the resilience of communities in the face of natural disasters», explained the manager of the Civil Protection office of the Basilicata Region, Giovanni Di Bello. To further define the reception model, updates are planned which will concern issues relating to accessibility and mobility infrastructures, initial reception hubs and medium and long-term permanence. Again according to the manager Di Bello «the approved plan does not represent a static instrument, but a reviewable one based on any regulatory provisions or significant changes in the delimitation of the red zone, ensuring that the evacuation strategy remains effective and timely”.
The methods of transfer
The methods of transfer from the Bagnoli district to the Lucanian territory, the Civil Protection offices communicate, may take place through assisted and autonomous transferHowever, this does not exclude the identification of independent accommodation by the evacuated people. And while plans for the management of a possible volcanic emergency arrive from Basilicata, in Pozzuoli the Government-Region duel continues on the topic of the bradyseismic crisis. The League has in fact called a press conference in front of the Solfatara. The Northern League regional coordinator announced it the other day Claudio Durigon «for the prevention of the risk of bradyseism in the municipalities of the Campi Flegrei – said Durigon -, a plan is needed which is not limited to the still non-existent escape routes or exercises, but extended to the prevention of damage or collapse, partial or total, of the buildings and not just with `visual detection´. In order to protect the safety of citizens and public and private residential assets, adequate State intervention is required in the municipalities of the Phlegraean area.” Yesterday it was the one who went on the attack Northern League regional councilor Carmela Rescigno: «We are here to underline the fact that the Campania Region has not given the right attention to the phenomenon of bradyseism and to this territory. Unlike the government, which already allocated money in October to verify the stability of the buildings, there is a lot of talk and little substance from Governor De Luca.”
The Region under attack
A further thrust came from the regional manager of Sud Protagonista, Raffaele De Cicco: «After 30 years of silence, however, a prevention policy was launched we do not want, if the vulnerability studies reveal critical issues regarding private buildings, the costs for making them safe to fall on the owners», then adding a warning to the current government «we hope that appropriate funds are allocated and that the negative effects of bradyseism do not fall on citizens». The former regional councilor echoed him Salvatore Ronghi: «We are starting with notable delays, because both the Region and the Municipalities have been distracted in recent years. Not only did they not create escape routes, but they did not even involve the city in the major choices. Furthermore, today visual checks on buildings are no longer sufficient.” Declaring in conclusion: «The continuous earthquake shocks create static problems. We will present an amendment to the Government to request the application of the 110% superbonus only for safety, but the Civil Protection must speed up the verification of the buildings».
