Pozzuoli seismic crisis drives emergency housing, state of emergency push

Pozzuoli Campi Flegrei evacuation state of emergency housing crisis

A bradyseismic crisis in the Campi Flegrei area has left 691 houses declared uninhabitable and about 1,700 people displaced. In Pozzuoli, 1,652 residents have been evacuated, with 1,514 placed in autonomous accommodation, 78 in hotels and 60 at the Palatrincone shelter. Sixty‑six buildings are subject to evacuation orders and 37 fire‑brigade teams are conducting inspections. Four local schools – Marconi, Quasimodo, Pergolesi and Borsellino – have been damaged and require safety checks.

Mayor Luigi Manzoni described the situation as “gravissima”, reporting over a thousand citizens out of their homes and urging rapid, extraordinary measures. Seven Pozzuoli councilors sent a letter to the national government requesting a declaration of a state of emergency for the Campi Flegrei. Minister of Civil Protection Nello Musumeci noted that no coordinating body exists without such a declaration, while Prefect Michele di Bari warned that displacement numbers are likely to increase and a task‑force has been set up.

The municipality and Poste Italiane have opened a free “Seguimi” service and a dedicated point for mail and parcel delivery to residents whose homes are uninhabitable. The mayor also asked the Guardia di Finanza to intervene against rent‑price speculation affecting displaced families. A planned emergency hub in via Artiaco remains unbuilt because it is not yet included in the protection plan.
