Beaches full and Bradyseism is evidently no longer scary. Only 9 people, out of 200 registered, showed up this morning at the Civil Protection stand set up on Pozzuoli seafront on the occasion of the second of the two days of seismic risk simulations to offer the communities of the Campi Flegrei and an area of Naples the tools and information useful in the event of evacuation.
The reaction of the mayor of Pozzuoli, Luigi Manzoni, was furious. «I want to say to the citizens that I understand their concerns, but we are working more than ever on the phenomenon of bradyseismand we must give citizens security by carrying out the activities we are implementing”, he commented. Between the Campi Flegrei and the outskirts of Naples, 30 thousand citizens would be affected by the risk scenario.
«Everything that needed to be done – underlined Manzoni – we are doing without wasting time. I don’t feel like condemning anyone who didn’t come, I just want to understand with data in hand and work on the critical issues because here we look for a solution to any problem. I also reflect on the fact that we are carrying out exercises and at the same time we are experiencing a state of emergency in Pozzuoli, so this could be one of the causes”. The mayor of Pozzuoli concluded: “The communication to the citizens about this simulation has been made, now I think that we need to actually understand the reasons for this low participation».
