Instead of Campotosto, in the areas close to the epicenter, a man was lost under a landslide which detached due to shock. The searches were stopped due to bad weather. “Several areas have not been reached,” admits the head of Civil Protection, Fabrizio Curcio – we have contacts, but many areas are isolated. All made more difficult by a network of roads”. Curcio also invites you to “avoid travel”. Those who must move, he adds, ” the face after being informed. You must not force what is not forzabile”.
