“There is an emergency to reconstruction. It will take time and we’ll do it, there is no magic wand. But we’ll do that, although it will take a long time.” He said the premier Matteo Renzi on a visit to Preci, one of the places hit by the earthquake. The premier then added: “No deportation, we put at the disposal of the hotels” and then “the objective is to study forms to enable people to stay close to their homes. Immediately after, she explained and reassured “we will rebuild here, the better, as it was and where it was. We are relieved there are dead, but it is a miracle: an earthquake 6.5 and the worst from the time of the Irpinia,” he stressed. Finally, Renzi has announced that between Thursday and Friday there will be the decree all together we will try to find solutions, involving the mayors”.
Mattarella on Wednesday in the earthquake area
A sign of closeness and solidarity to the population. The President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, has reduced the program of his visit to Israel, maintaining only the institutional commitments, and Wednesday will travel to the affected areas by the earthquake.
The earth continues to tremble,
The earth, meanwhile, hasn’t stopped shaking. This morning a sharp shock of earthquake, of magnitude 4.8, was felt at 8:56 between the Marche and Umbria. The earthquake was distinctly felt even at Ancona.
“The shock of this morning has been very strong, the police marshal tells me that there have been other collapses in the country, and you see the smoke”. So to Ansa, the mayor of Ussita (Macerata), Marco Rinaldi, after the earthquake recorded just before 9am. “It’s an ordeal, it never ends”, he adds. “Yesterday evening I went down to Porto Recanati to meet my evacuees in hotels: the shock to me has told in direct to phone the breeder. Now I try to go on, but the roads are a disaster…”.
And continued even last night most of the seismic swarm following the shock – the most important of a magnitude of 6.5 at 7.40 30 October – the last week have devastated part of central Italy, in an area between Umbria, Marche, Lazio and Abruzzo. The shock of the night were of a magnitude between two and three, and only a few have exceeded this last threshold; several were warned by the people.
Even today, they continue the aid to the people and the verifications of the damage, very heavy in many towns of the province of rieti, of the Sibillini mountains, in the conca amatriciana and of the Valnerina. In the absence of an official number of displaced persons, it appears that in the without case in the Marche region would be 25 thousand, almost all concentrated (about 21mila) in the province of Macerata. In Umbria, instead, the displaced would be no more than five thousand (2.800 assisted) in the Abruzzo region the ‘away from home’ 3.000, while in Lazio, the only assisted about 800. Some of them will be transferred to hotels on the adriatic coast, while it is in the advanced stage the construction of several structures in the area of Norcia, where they will find temporary shelter, some of the people yesterday protested, refusing the transfer in the centers of the sea.
Ceriscioli in the affected areas, tomorrow with Errani in the stop
the President of The Marche Luca Ceriscioli is conducting a survey in the area of macerata, to make the counting of damages. While tomorrow he will be back in the stop with Vasco Errani, the commissioner for the reconstruction.
Norcia reopen stores
In Norcia, it tries to return to normal: in addition to the sausage factory, that has never closed, they begin to reopen, other businesses, even if far away from the walls within which you can enter if not for short visits, accompanied by the fire brigade to retrieve medicines, some clothing and personal effects of value.
In the industrial zone, works the petrol station and the adjoining bar-tobacconist’s, Serravalle is another open bar with a side a resale of meats and cheeses, while in Cascia, the local supermarket sells its products, even if the public may not enter the premises accessible only to the staff, which provides to withdraw the goods required by citizens. In short, while the aftershocks continue, people try to return to normality and, this evening, you will see how many will use the tents provided by the civil Protection. Of course, the fear is not over and many of the residents in the homes hit by the earthquake that prefer to sleep in cars or in caravans, for fear that a new shock can hit their homes, which up until now has remained unharmed.
Within today also the inhabitants of Norcia remained in the town you will find twelve tents tires 30-40 beds, two kitchens and a large marquee with the function of the table as the presidium of the first support and assistance. And’ what is learned by the Department of civil Protection, which continues with great speed and efficiency to assist the inhabitants that, in spite of the strong cold (in the night drops below zero), they decided to stay in the city.
For now, even if they continue to work on the setting, there was no attendance on the part of the inhabitants, who have spent in cars and a few caravans on the second night after the dramatic shock of Sunday morning.
Guides, excursions, churches, walking paths razed to the ground
“The situation is completely compromised. The churches, the churches that were along the paths and represented milestones for the tourists who leaded in the tracks, they are virtually razed or severely damaged. I am referring to the area of Norcia where these churches to complete our walks and now there is almost nothing”. To talk about is Leonardo Perrone, Coordinator of the Environmental tour Guides of the Marche, in particular the case of the dramatic Santa Maria del Pantano: the Church, in the year one Thousand, and with frescoes of great value,appears “almost all destroyed” from the pictures that they sent and some of her colleagues.
“Santa Maria in Pantano was the symbol for the Environmental Hiking Guides. It was the path of the harvesters, a scenario nothing short of spectacular. The people of the marches – he says – it started the morning of good time, went under the Vettore Mountain and descended into the plain of Castelluccio entering in Umbria. Inside the Church there are beautiful frescoes depicting the Sibyl of the Apennines. I hope that you are able to save.”
The plain of Castelluccio “was the path that he walked in every season and now to see it reduced in those conditions, for we guides, and’ a wound to the heart. Now there is nothing to tell. They were all paths rich in beauties and monuments practically razed to the ground”. Here, an appeal: “it is important that you rebuilt everything. We need to rediscover the churches of the ’400, and Santa Maria in Pantano. Otherwise it will collapse all induced tourism”.
the Mayor of Accumoli orders total evacuation
The mayor of Accumoli, Stefano Petrucci, has ordered the evacuation of all the territory for a “serious emergency”, as stated in the ordinance signed by him. There are about 80 to Eighty people who still resist after the violent shock of 30 October. It is breeders, farmers and other inhabitants who do not want to go away, in spite of the framework in the country and in some of the hamlets is now
critical. In the ordinance of the mayor reads: “there is no danger of a direct, the further involvement of the remaining percentage of the citizenry in the collapse, which may still occur.”
Cna: hit 15% a manufacturing business
“The earthquake on Sunday has widened the area of the ‘crater’, and now, according to first assessments, 15% of the manufacturing business has been damaged”. He says to Agi, the director of the Cna Macerata, Luciano Ramadori. “We have a system of production – explains – 45,000 companies, many of which are small and medium-sized enterprises, these shocks were pulled down with force causing serious damage. Also, and this is the major concern, the population is going to the coast which could create a real own migration of men to the disappearance of enterprises.
our first objective – add Ramadori – “is the restoration of the laboratories, the reopening of the companies in all possible ways to avoid the damage of the historic centres you add a disappearance of the productive fabric, which was the core of the system-Brands, to abandonment of the territory.”
For this, explains the director of the Cna, “with the Mayors, with the Region, with the Government, have to work in order to have a clear plan. Let’s start by a positive: the Quadrilateral has remained intata, then a fundamental hub for the transfer of persons and goods, is operating. Now, it is time to activate the resources, credit, practical help to overcome this tragedy. As a Cna we ask for an effort to prevent this area from being ‘desertificata’, we will bring our help to the entrepreneurs, we will stay close to them, but it serves a precise project and time established for the shooting because the shot is strong both for trade and for agriculture and for handicrafts”.
