Casoria's housing crisis continues. Following the collapse of the building on Via Cavour, new signs of structural instability have forced the evacuation of two other buildings on Corso Umberto I, forcing dozens of people from their homes. The situation was the focus of an update meeting at the Prefecture of Naples, attended by Mayor Raffaele Bene, Regional Councilor for Civil Protection Fiorella Zabatta, and representatives of the fire department, law enforcement, Civil Protection, and the Naples 2 North Local Health Authority.
The mayor explained that some of the evacuated families have been relocated to the same hotels already designated for the displaced people on Via Cavour. Meanwhile, firefighters are preparing to intervene in the collapsed building to remove the unsafe elements still hanging. This delicate operation, if it goes as planned, could allow several residents from the surrounding areas to finally return to their homes.
Structural inspections also continue at Vico VII Padre Ludovico da Casoria, where technicians and owners are collaborating to assess the stability of the buildings. Meanwhile, the Regional Civil Protection Department is maintaining an assistance station in the municipal library, supported by a health center provided by the ASL Napoli 2 Nord to support the most vulnerable.
Security is also being heightened. Law enforcement is constantly patrolling the affected areas to prevent thefts and intrusions into the evacuated buildings. This enhanced security measure is designed to prevent the risk of looting from compounding the structural emergency, while the city continues to grapple with fear and uncertainty about the future of its homes.
