Civil Protection and Sea Policy
Minister Nello Musumeci said Friday that an evacuation plan was
being drafted for the Campi Flegrei (Phlegraean Fields), a
volcanic area near Naples, after 4.2-magnitude earthquake this
week sparked fears of an eruption.
It was the biggest quake to hit the area in 40 years.
"We have to get down to work at once," said Musumeci, stressing
that around half a million people live in the area.
The Phlegraean Fields is a collapsed caldera, a volcanic area
formed by several volcanic edifices.
