Seismologists, volcanologists, and officials from Naples are racing against the clock as they implement school closures, set up emergency shelters, and plan evacuation routes for residents living within the region’s Campi Flegiri area,
..also known as the Phlegraean Fields, after over 600 earthquakes have been recorded since Saturday, with magnitudes ranging from M2.0 to M3.9; the most and the strongest the region has seen in 40 years. According to data from the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), the town of Pozzuoli is the nearest populated area closest to the epicenter of the earthquake swarm, prompting officials to close schools there until further notice.
