The decision to convene the vertex interministerial came at the culmination of a series of seismic events in the area of Pozzuoli started on Monday evening with a shock of magnitude 4.4. The people evacuated after the strong tremor and the swarm that followed have already spent two nights on the streets. In total, 46 families were evicted from 27 buildings. Yesterday the women’s prison in Pozzuoli where 138 inmates were held was also evacuated.
This morning’s earthquake of magnitude 4 with its epicenter in the Gulf of Pozzuoli convinced the mayor of Procida, Dino Ambrosino, to have the schools on the island evacuated. The closure will serve to carry out “accurate checks of the static conditions, by the Civil Protection and municipal technicians. We are confident in the outcome, considering that in recent years we have carried out many seismic improvement interventions on school structures”, explained Ambrosino .
