Neapel arises: chaos and evacuations after strong earthquakes!
Naples, southern Italy, was shaken by an earthquake of thickness 4.4 on the night of March 13, 2025. This reports Radio Euskirchen . The epicenter of the quake was in the Phlegraian fields, an area known for its volcanic activity. The earthquake stove was registered locally at 1:25 a.m. A few minutes later, at 1:40 a.m., another quake of the strength was reported 1.6, followed by several aftershocks.
The vibrations were clearly noticeable, especially in the surrounding towns such as Pozzuoli, Bacoli, Fuorigrotta and Bagnoli. In Bagnoli, an attic collapsed, with a woman being saved out of the ruins. The force of the earthquake also meant that debris fell onto the streets from the buildings and cracks and falling facade parts were found. Despite the damage, there were initially no reports on seriously injured.
consequences and reactions
The local schools in the affected region remain closed as a precaution on Thursday. Many residents spent the night in emergency accommodation, while others complained about the chaotic conditions on the streets. The alarm level yellow, which has existed for the Phlegraian fields for eleven years, has been emphasized again because the area has been plagued by seismic activities for some time.
according to the Neue Zürcher Zeitung The pressure has increased under the Campi Flegrei, which has increased in a bulge and one Increase in earthquakes. In the red zone, which houses over 500,000 people, there is a need to evacuate within 72 hours in an emergency. A recent study by the University of College London and the Italian Istituto Nazionale Di Geofisica e Vulcanologia indicates an increased probability of an outbreak, while research manager Giuseppe de Natal critically noted that geological resistance may be overestimated.
risks of an outbreak
The phlegraic fields have a long history of significant volcanic activities, including large outbreaks that go back to the 16th century. Estimates indicate that a potential outbreak of the supervulkan could have devastating consequences for the region and beyond. According to the analyzes, a super eruption with a strength of VEI 7 could completely devastate the Naples metropolitan region, while an even stronger eruption, for example a VEI 8, could have an impact that can be felt over the Alps. These scenarios would not only influence the lives of residents drastically, but also to significantly endanger European agriculture and the climate, as DetailsQuellen
