Campi Flegrei Supervolcano Update; Largest Earthquake in 40+ Years

Naples Region Rocked by More Than 150 Quakes

BBC 25 MAY 2024

Makeshift camps were set up late on Monday for residents made to leave their homes

Homes were evacuated and many schools closed after a flurry of earthquakes hit the area around Naples in southern Italy.

More than 160 earthquakes were recorded on Monday evening and overnight.

The strongest, of magnitude 4.4, happened around 20:00 local time (18:00 GMT) near the town of Pozzuoli. Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) said it was the strongest quake in the region for 40 years.

Gaetano Manfredi, the mayor of Naples, acknowledged that residents may be scared - but said officials were "paying attention".

Hundreds of tents were erected in Pozzuoli and some residents stayed on the streets for much of the night, though others opted to stay elsewhere with relatives.

Local media reported that several families were considering leaving the area altogether due to the number of low-level quakes that have occurred in the last few months.

One outlet quoted a Naples resident as saying they had never felt such a strong quake.

"This time it was rough, it felt like it would never end," a man told Il Mattino newspaper.

While no significant damage to structures has been reported, some schools in Naples remained shut on Tuesday for inspections - and a women’s prison in Pozzuoli was evacuated as a precaution.

Mr Manfredi warned "there could be more serious quakes" in the future and said officials needed to "manage this emergency situation with which we might have to live for months".

"I can't tell people not to be scared, because that's normal, but I can tell Neapolitans that we are paying attention and monitoring [the situation]," he continued in a statement.

"Never before has this territory been more closely watched, so let's try and live as normally as we can."
