The Avellino region has faced a series of public health and safety emergencies. Initially, the city dealt with a dual crisis involving a heatwave and a widespread pest infestation of insects and rats that spread from public spaces into private homes. Local officials requested immediate disinfection and cleaning interventions to address the unsanitary conditions.

Following these events, authorities shifted focus to managing a wildfire in Airola. To mitigate health risks from shifting smoke clouds, officials implemented air quality monitoring using mobile laboratories and high-flow samplers to detect pollutants such as dioxins in nearby municipalities. Firefighters have utilized robotic devices to combat the blaze due to challenging terrain.
