Bad weather in South Italy, Musumeci “It will not be possible to reconstruct as it was before”

ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “We do not make calculations that can be absolutely free of reliability at the moment. The first appropriation is what is usually given to allow local municipalities and bodies to cope with the urgent expenses, to cover the orders that were adopted for the restoration of the roadworthiness, for the restoration of the functionality of the essential services. The real calculation is done when the reconnaissance of damages is complete, it is clear that it is not a problem of resources because the essential theme is that of the planning and that of the opening of the yards. Unfortunately, in Italy as we know, from this point of view – a leopard spot – we are not always efficient”. This was said by Nello Musumeci, Minister for Civil Protection and Sea Policies, at 24 Mattino on Radio 24.

“I said it for Ischia, I said it in Emilia-Romagna, I said it for the Flegrei fields, I also say it in this circumstance: it is no longer possible to reconstruct where it was, as it was, at least in some areas. The railway network, for example of eastern Sicily or in part of Calabria, lambiva the beach, realized a few steps from the sea, which means that a strong tide, with which we should deal because the climate has changed, strikes the railway station and bare the track. That is why, I said yesterday in Calabria, that it is not excluded that in some areas you have to review the planning of urban planning, as long as you take into account the planning of Civil Protection, says the code of civil protection, but so far has never been done. That is, when we build, when we plan, we also have to take into account the vulnerability of that area.”.

“Since January, small and medium-sized enterprises have the obligation to subscribe to catastrophe insurance. It seems to me an element of great civilization. It seems that some entrepreneurs, in contact with their insurance, have heard themselves say: ‘she is assured for the cyclone and not for the tide and this is a tide, it can not be said with accuracy if this is a cyclone, perhaps it is a mini-cyclone, in short, Byzantineisms that on the one hand mortify those who have undersigned polizza, on the other do not contribute to creating a new and conscious culture of the risk, in an Italy where there is so much need. That’s why we intervened on the National Association of Insurance Companies, we found listening and availability, in the coming days we will come back to meet them and we will open a table to understand whether even from them we can find support and attention”.
