Ottaviano. “We will continue to monitor the situation hour by hour but, in the meantime, I have ordered the closure of schools of all levels for tomorrow only, Tuesday 30 October. The weather is slowly improving but the closure is a necessary provision to allow our technicians to check both the school buildings and the city traffic. It is a measure that will allow us to keep the situation under control even further,” said the mayor of Ottaviano Luca Capasso after today’s wave of bad weather. “We have just finished a tour, with the councilor delegated to public works Vincenzo Caldarelli and the councilor for civil protection Giorgio Marigliano through the streets of Ottaviano to verify the damage caused by the bad weather. We removed trees and brush that were obstructing traffic and we intervened in via Oliveto, where the roof of a private home collapsed, fortunately without any injuries to people,” said Capasso. CThen, he argues with the regional Civil Protection: "Today we are managing the emergency, but tomorrow I will ask the Region to profoundly modify the Civil Protection and weather alert system. It is not possible to leave everything to improvisation and delegate to the mayors decisions that should be up to technicians and experts. It is not possible to receive more or less reassuring bulletins when bad weather is even announced on cell phones. Today they were talking to us about a yellow alert and everything went down, last week it was orange and we found ourselves with the sun. The winter is long, we need a change of direction or it will be impossible to manage the months to come".
