Norcia, earthquake 6.5: 20 injured, 25 displaced only in the Marche | it was the shock more strong from 1980 – reuters uk

For all you are trying to find accommodation. “We don’t want to deport people, but they can spend a quiet night. Does not make sense to sleep in the car,” said the commissioner of the government for the rebuilding, Vasco Errani, while also highlighting how “now the first problem is to give assistance and security to the population that is experiencing a situation very heavy”, the commitment is to “rebuild everything in order to give perspective to these territories and to this community.”

The shock felt from Bolzano to Bari – A shock, that Sunday morning, which was followed by more than 200 seismic events, and that was felt not only in the central regions but in large parts of the Country, from Bolzano to Bari, and very strong in Rome, where it was closed as a precaution, the underground, and where, on Monday schools will be closed to allow the inspection of any damage to the buildings.

No victim “thank you” to the earthquakes previous - This new earthquake has struck many of the areas already affected by the earthquakes of 24 August and 26 October, and probably for this reason there are the victims: the historical centers of the countries, in fact, had already been largely cleared and declared as “red zones”.

Many of the damage: collapsed the churches of Norcia, razed to the ground Castelluccio di Norcia - But these same villages have suffered now an additional, heavy, searing, and especially in Norcia, where the Basilica of San Benedetto and the church of San Francesco collapsed. The high part of the village of Castelluccio of Norcia, has been razed to the ground. Amatrice is collapsed, the civic tower and the church of San Benedetto. Heavy damage to the architectural and artistic heritage also Civita di Bagnoregio, in the province of viterbo, and the church of the Collegiata in San Genesio (Macerata).

Road conditions in the chaos, many roads interrupted - there Are many national roads and provincial roads closed in the Marche, Lazio, Umbria and Abruzzo to the collapse or to the risks related to the earthquake. The road that connects Visso with Norcia has fallen to around two kilometres from the town of marche and, therefore, is totally unfit for use; also closed stretches of the via Salaria. The roads, stressed the head of the civil Protection Fabrizio Curcuio, is “greatly compromised” in the affected areas and the wounded were carried away with the helicopters.

Problems also to the railway lines: the movement of trains was suspended and is pending verifications along the lines of the Foligno-Terontola railway, Orte-Falconara, Ascoli-Porto d’ascoli-Ascoli piceno, Terni-Sulmona, Pescara-Sulmona, and then restored.

Alfano: “the Police and the police against the looting” – the minister of The Interior, Angelino Alfano, has ensured in turn that the forces of law and order, defend the territory and protect the homes of citizens affected by the earthquake. “We have a mandate”, he pointed out that in the places affected by the earthquake, 120 units between the police and the carabinieri, which were added to those already existing in those territories, and in these hours, an additional 200 military you are adding to the 220 operating in the red zones since the 24th of August last”. On the front of the relief, Alfano explained that “we have 1.313 firefighters in the field, of which 323 have reached in these hours the places affected”.

firefighters save thanks to daylight saving time - fire Department and engineers work tirelessly for hours and hours. And many of them are alive thanks to daylight saving time. Involved in the inspections post earthquake would have been able to stay involved in the collapse of the shock, as they tell themselves, if the hands of the clock were left an hour back. The inspections and interventions in public and private buildings, such as churches, many of which have collapsed with the shock of Sunday morning, beginning usually at 8. The earthquake of magnitude 6.5 occurred at 7.40 am, solar time, at 8.40 a.m. on a Saturday, when it was still in force the daylight saving time.
