The first session of the regional commission of inquiry into the flood events in Tuscany on 29 and 30 October and from 2 to 4 November 2023 was held this morning, chaired by Elisa Tozzi (FdI). At the center of the meeting is the definition of the work program during which documents may be acquired and useful hearings carried out for the purposes of the joint final report and any minority reports.
“The commission will define a calendar that is as detailed as possible and shared with all the members – explained President Elisa Tozzi – . We do not want to point the finger at anyone, but to carry out an all-round in-depth study on important issues: from the management of the emergency during the flood event to the execution of extremely urgent works by the managers of essential services of the Tuscany Region, land reclamation consortia, and civil engineering; from interventions to reduce hydrogeological risk to the issue of compensation for families and businesses; from the focus on the activity of civil protection to the management of the alert system in Tuscany. Finally, there will be an in-depth study on the activity of the commissioner structure, in particular on the management of government and regional resources and relations with local authorities”. “In addition to the inspections – added Tozzi – we have important hearings planned: we will invite the president of the Region and the competent assessor to the commission, but also mayors, citizens’ committees, representatives of local authorities and economic categories”.
