Premier Giuseppe Conte said
Wednesday the cabinet will meet Thursday to declare a state of
emergency in the regions worst hit by recent storms that killed
32 people and caused over one billion euros in damage.
He said the government had earmarked 153.5 million euros for
the emergency.
As well, 900 million euros would be spent over three years
righting hydrogeological faults across Italy.
Conte also said that illegal and dangerous buildings on
Ischia would be demolished.
An amnesty on the quake-hit island regarded 1,100 homes, he
said.
