Just under a hundred eviction orders have been signed by the mayor of Zafferana Etnea, Alfio Vincenzo Russo, due to homes being completely or partially uninhabitable following the Santo Stefano earthquake. The municipality announced the announcement, emphasizing that owners of uninhabitable properties will be able to "draw on the Self-Accommodation Grant, the amount of which varies depending on the number of family members." 1.322 inspections have been conducted to verify the habitability of buildings in Zafferana Etnea—especially in the hamlets most affected by the earthquake: Fleri, Poggiofelice, and Pisano—out of 2.289 requests. Currently, 566 buildings are habitable, 364 are partially habitable, and 392 are uninhabitable. 501 people have been evacuated and are being housed in hotels thanks to an agreement with the Sicilian Region. Via Vittorio Emanuele, the main road through the town of Fleri, remains closed due to some post-earthquake issues that have not yet been fully resolved. Meanwhile, the earth continued to shake this morning: two tremors were recorded in Milo, at 6:15 a.m. and 6:42 a.m., with magnitudes of 2.4 and 2.2, respectively.
