The government is monitoring the Campi
Flegrei volcanic area near Naples after a 4.0 magnitude quake
spooked residents Monday night following a 4.2 mag tremor last
week, and that "zero risk does not exist" of a major earthquake
there, Civil Protection Minister Nello Musumeci said Tuesday.
"Zero risk does not exist: we are monitoring the situation. If
there had been attention 40 years ago, perhaps today we could
have eased the situation," he said.
Pouzzuoli Mayor Luigi Manzoni said "evacuation tests are
necessary in Pozzuoli, they will take place in the coming days".
"On the schools, I reassure parents," he said.
'The seismic activity," he added, "should have been attended to
and monitored in Pozzuoli all along and instead they didn't do
it".
