Messina has equipped itself with a new civil protection plan against various risks and the mayor Federico Basile defines it as a historic fact because for the first time all possible emergencies have been taken into consideration to study how to deal with them and ensure the city is prepared.
The various offices coordinated by the councilor Massimiliano Minutoli and the expert consultant in the sector, Eng., worked on it. Antonio Rizzo, all last night guests of the Rotary club Messina Peloro, chaired by Dr. David Militi who wanted to dedicate a special meeting to the topic, which was well attended by the members.
The works were introduced by the engineer, Edoardo Milio who expressed the appreciation of the Rotary community for the indispensable tool for the protection and management of risks, from seismic, hydrogeological, to industrial pollution, to the water risk due to drought which it will be felt more and more heavily.
There was a previous one, drawn up in 2008, updated eight years later, but this one – as the engineer then illustrated. Rizzo – addresses the entire subject and the new challenges in a more organic and comprehensive way, including that linked to the possible bridge.
The municipal emergency plan can be consulted on the website of the Municipality of Messina. It envisages six macro areas and now the Municipality’s objective is to spread it widely, which will be done by involving not only the club services but above all schools and parishes, various communities for the maximum involvement of citizens who then become the vital, active part for the most effective success of prevention and relief programs.
