Hydrogeology, more emergencies are ready to start

Nearby Acquappesa, Cosenza province, half way between Paola and Diamante, another disaster is ready to take place: signals are clear and a geologist's video denounces it in advance, just to make clear that the local authorities will do nothing to prevent it.

In the mean time between Rometta and Rometta Marea, an entire section of the Provinciale 56

has collapsed following heavy rains, the amount of the damage is of many million €, in a while we'll be spectators to the usual phenomena of the responsability search, while emergency funding will put everyone together.

Meanwhile, not even the dead is safe in the last journey, nearby Fagnano Castello, still in Calabria 

region, the local cemetery has badly collapsed with the entire slope.

Compromised Hydrogeology

The process of desgregatio of the italian territory seems unstoppable:

in the past two monts we've had:

9 dead in the Cagliari area

3 dead in Calabria

5 dead in Sicily

It is diffused opinion that the funding for preventing emergencies is unsufficient, whilst emergency funding is widely available.

More than other ignorance is widely diffused: there are methods that involve a low level funding and a high result.

Emergency funding, in Italy, have the peculiarity to be available readily and without too many questions, yet again, local authorities are not capable to provide for themselves.

SEASON'S GREETINGS TO THE DECISOR!

If anyone missed out on this one, I'd like to relay it: on the news, in the past days, a watercourse happended to become suddenly a river, it seems to happen quite often lately. This time it claimed three lives.
I'd like to underline, as the video clearly shows, that this has happened for the ignorance of the minimum basic safety rules concerning hydrogeological scenario, the total ignorance of bio-ingegneristic methods that save money and lives, costing only a fraction of the cement that is also prone to be washed away by the force of the waters, all this in the complete impunity of who is called to operate decisions who affect people's lives not knowing or worse, knowing and not caring.
Merry Christmas!

MALA TEMPORA!

All it takes it's an half hour storm, that's enough to put at risk people and property, nowadays. It can all be washed away by a little drain that becomes river in a second.
This is what happened recently in Sardinia, five lives drowned by the flood caused by insufficient drainage capacity of the catchment and by foolish cementing of an area at risk.
Afterwards the usual lamenting of the survivor and the damage count.

In the photos, the destructive potential of an innocent watercourse when 100mm of rain fall in half an hour.
It happened behind my house, in Cugnana, next to Olbia: the river has destroyed the IMHOFF septic tank and stormed into the house, pushing its content throughout the floor up to 50cm. About 30,000€ damage.
Fortunately no one got hurt this time.
More shots of the same happening.
