(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 3 - A decree on earthquake risk in the
Campi Flegrei volcanic area near Naples will soon be presented
to parliament, Civil Protection Minister Nello Musumeci said
Tuesday a day after a 4.0 mag tremor spooked residents there and
a week after a slightly bigger and scarier one, 4.2 magnitude.
"The text of the decree law on the Phlegraean Fields is in the
home stretch. With the department offices we are in fact
defining the last formal steps. I count on bringing it before
the Council of Ministers within a few days," said Musumeci.
"Today I met with the councillor for Civil Protection of the
Campania Region, Mario Morcone, to share some of the objectives
contained in the measure.
"We have also asked the National Commission for Major Risks, of
the National Civil Protection System, to let us know the
scientific community's analysis of the updated situation of the
area concerned from a seismic and bradyseismic point of view,'
the minister added. (ANSA).
