Weather Alert Friday 17 schools closed at all levels in Caserta, San Nicola la Strada, Capua and San Marco Evangelista: the ordinances.
For tomorrow, Friday 17 January, the mayor of Caserta Marino has ordered the closure of all municipal parks and public villas with prohibition on entry for all citizens, as well as the city cemeteries.
The ordinance was made necessary because the current and forecasted weather phenomena entail a high risk of falling trees, branches, cornices, billboards and other movable objects, with consequent possible damage to the safety of the population and urban traffic.
In particular, the situation could represent a danger for school children, considering the travel to and from schools, as well as for the performance of normal educational activities in person. The provision signed by the Mayor then orders the managers of the various Sectors of the Authority to monitor any critical situations that may arise in school facilities and public areas under their jurisdiction.
Inspections are also recommended on all municipal property, including trees and street lamps, to ensure public and private safety.
