Figure: Map of the seismic risk in Italy started to spin wildly on the internet a video Giampaolo Giuliani, researcher at the physics laboratory of Gran Sasso, the March 24 stated - in ways that science does not recognize reliable - you can predict that in the coming days of the earthquakes have occurred in Abruzzo. The student has been charged procured alarm.
Sure, it might just be a coincidence, the methods applied were never recognized as valid, it is true ... I am not alarmist or conspiracy to do on this issue.
It 'also true that the earthquake swarm was underway YTD . And that is an event that happens every spring in Abruzzo.
It 's also true, however, that the map of seismic risk in Italy is not mica was drawn today.
Yes, of course, perhaps preventive evacuation would have been excessive, we can not pretend that ... is one thing to know that sooner or later in a certain area may experience earthquakes, another to predict the exact time. But prevention is not only preventive evacuation!
Prevention also means building according to earthquake standards.
Prevention also means pre-planned precautionary measures to be implemented in case of emergencies ... For example, early warning assets and preparing men and basic necessities, shelter, mobility plans and emergency ... (Applause, however, a rapid delivery of relief at this juncture.)
Prevention also means not cut funds to the Civil Defence .... (Bertolaso \u200b\u200bthen conveniently withdrew the resignation, considering that in return he became the factotum of this Government's note of Emergency)
Prevention also provide means of evacuation plans, and disseminate them widely advance among the population, teach in schools, they become an integral part of every citizen to know who lives in those areas!
In other words ... not wait for the emergency!
This brief excerpt is taken from a study by a leading light on the subject, Professor. Alessandro Martelli :
[...] the high seismic vulnerability of Italian heritage building has been highlighted by all the significant earthquakes of the last 20 to 30 years: from Friuli in 1976, to those Irpinia (or Campania-Lucania) 1980, 1984, Abruzzo, Basilicata, 1990, the provinces of Modena and Reggio Emilia in 1996, Umbria and the Marches of 1997-98, the Pollino of 1998 and Finally, Molise and Puglia in 2002. [...]
Example: magnitude 7.0 event
Apennines Merida.: 5000 ÷ 11000 deaths,> 15,000 wounded
Media World 6500 dead, 20,500 wounded
Japan 50 dead, 250 injured
N TABLE I: number of victims (dead and injured) expected to equal the affected population, both in Italian areas with high seismic hazard, in Japan, is (on average) worldwide
Why PREVENTION is a word so hard for an Italian? Why we give the best of us only during emergencies, as the boys are doing the Fire Brigade, Civil Defence and all those employed in the relief effort and to whom I offer my full support?
Why? They are dead to shout about.
The emergency is the daughter of our culture, the art of getting by daughter, mother of "until the boat is let it go "....
the same culture that has deepened the plight of white deaths due to lack of work safety, the same one that makes you say "I do not wear a helmet because I am cooler than, the same that makes us sharpen our wits to invent thousands tricks to fool the device that alerts us if we do not have car wearing a safety belt ....
daughter a culture of common people, who must pull to get by deceiving the owner ... the same culture "all goes well, Madame la Marquise."
A culture that makes you laugh the rest of the Western world, which we pride ourselves (we delude ourselves?) To join ... a world that sees us as unreliable, dangerous, unable to meet a commitment or a deadline.
But we are the best in emergency (and I know well). We made our own fault ... a quality.
And this is typically Italian.
PS: may seem comical, but this image is exactly the way it handles the problems in Italy ... God save us.
soon I hope to read your comments ... I want particularly to know your opinion on this topic.
