Authorities in the Naples region have initiated safety and stabilization measures for Monte Faito following landslides and concerns regarding roaming animals. To address hydrogeological instability, 10 million euros have been allocated to stabilize several torrent beds, including the Foiano, Scuselle al Cognulo, Visanola, and Piazza Grande streams. The municipality of Castellammare di Stabia has commenced urgent debris clearing on the Scuro stream.

In response to hiker safety concerns, municipalities such as Agerola, Casola, and Vico Equense are revising local ordinances to manage roaming livestock and Maremma sheepdogs. These measures include prohibiting grazing in tourist zones and establishing municipal shelters for animals lacking microchips.

As interventions progress, local representatives from the Movimento 5 Stelle have noted that the Municipality of Castellammare di Stabia is preparing to issue tenders for riverbed restoration. Additional funding has been requested from the Campania Region to address further riverbeds and to restore the Castellammare-Monte Faito road, which has remained closed for over two decades. Additionally, the Carabinieri Forestali have committed to increased patrols to combat environmental degradation and potential organized crime in the area.
