The second day of exercises of the Civil protection for risk of bradyseism a Pozzuoli did not achieve the desired success. 30 in total the participants from Pozzuoli, a number that increased slightly thanks to the presence of some citizens who, despite not having booked, decided to join the initiative.
For simulation tests scenario 3 the citizens of Pozzuoli they gathered in the two reception points: on the seafront of via Naples et al Largo Palazzine and then head to the hub of Palatrincone Of Monterusciello for the census.
But what is the reason for the lack of participation of citizens of Pozzuolidespite the fear of earthquake shocks being great? The answers are to be found both in the method and in the delay of the communication by the municipal administration.
The link to register for the exercises, released by Municipality of Pozzuoliin fact, it was “advertised” on social media only last Friday with Sunday as the booking deadline.
Even the time established for the simulation, scheduled from around 11 this morning, did not encourage turnout given that many people were at work and could not justify their absence.
And still the many displaced families who are far from their home declared uninhabitable, therefore, were unable to return to Pozzuoli just to take part in the exercises. Many, as we have been able to see, instead, preferred to enjoy the day at sea, right while the exercises were taking place.
In conclusion, the plan communication of the administration to inform the population proved disappointing and precarious, despite the mayor of Pozzuoli Gigi Manzoni telephoned citizens’ homes to solicit participation, via Mayors in Contact 2.0.
Communication therefore had several flaws in a particularly difficult and critical moment for the citizens of Pozzuoli who have to fight with the bradyseismic crisis still underway.
“The low turnout of the population is a critical issue to work on but for me it is mainly due to the emergency that we are experiencing and that many are still experiencing after the shocks of May 20th. We all need to work together, everyone must take on their own responsibilities.” declared the mayor of Gigi Manzoni to the press.
And he added Manzoni: “It is not true that there was no communication. Everyone knew there were drills today. We made posters, posters, and yesterday I phoned all the people at home via mayors in contact to inform them of today. But if we need to improve communication we will do so, we know how to self-criticize and if something hasn’t worked we will improve it”.
