The relocation of residents and businesses will be the last solution that the institutions will implement if the safety of homes and businesses cannot be guaranteed. General Figliuolo clarified this today during a visit to the localities of the Bolognese Apennines affected by landslides and floods last May.
The many relocations anticipated in the preliminary version of the plan to secure the area had in fact caused quite a stir in recent days. The extraordinary commissioner for reconstruction today clarified that the objective is to avoid depopulation. The buildings that today fall within the risk areas will first be subjected to analyzes and evaluations by technicians to verify their real danger. Secondly, works to reduce or eliminate risks to people’s safety will be evaluated. If any intervention is judged useless, relocation will be resorted to, always trying to keep families and businesses within the same territory.
