Open Letter to the President of the Republic

Post modificato per maggior chiarezza

Rilancio un'iniziativa di alcuni ricercatori dell'Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) che, a seguito degli avvisi di garanzia per omicidio colposo inviati dalla Procura della Repubblica dell'Aquila ai componenti della Commissione Grandi Rischi e a dirigenti del Dipartimento Nazionale della Protezione Civile, hanno scritto una lettera (che consiglio di sottoscrivere (**) ) al Presidente della Repubblica.
In questa assurda storia il Procuratore della Repubblica Alfredo Rossini also said:

"Those responsible are highly qualified experts who would have given different answers to the citizens. This is not a failure alarm, the alarm had already come from an earthquake. It is the failure notice that you had to leave their homes. "

I would remind the public prosecutor Alfredo Rossini, the current state of knowledge, there is a seismic precursor trusted to implement the evacuation of a city (which in the absence of a plan Specifically, would create panic and chaos in the streets certainly could lead to acts of looting and victims), so there can be no certainty that an earthquake happens and you can not even knowing where and when it happens. Who would take responsibility for such a decision, or to evacuate from the middle region of Abruzzi swarm ?..... How long ?..... And based on what? On forecasts of this kind (see fourth response, the article was also reported in the newspaper "The Capital of Abruzzo, but is not currently available as an archive of the newspaper is under renovation). Can you imagine if it was evacuated and the inhabitants were transferred to Sulmona L'Aquila ......?????

see Mr. Prosecutor, the necessary conditions and sufficient to establish a scientifically seismic precursor are: the observability of the event

• the quantitative determination of the event
• causal relationship to the earthquake
• the construction of a physical-mathematical model that explains the ' event, which allows for the discrimination, location and space-time that allows those who follow the same procedure to achieve the same results.

phenomena caused by rocks under tectonic stress such as radon gas emissions, disturbance of the electromagnetic field, earthquake swarms and so are only clues that do not allow an exact prediction of the phenomenon. Without a

seismic precursor can not then discriminate neither the place nor the precise time at which an earthquake will occur.

The only thing to do is exploit the knowledge available to us. Indeed, we are aware (thanks to the studies to the cartography produced by INGV):

1. of which countries and cities at risk from earthquakes, the maximum seismic intensity
2. waiting on a certain area, then sufficient

take preventive action to limit the damage of an earthquake through the securing of buildings or the construction according to stringent seismic criteria. In Japan and in California, an earthquake of intensity equal to that Aquilano, would not casualties and damage done would create much smaller.

A L'Aquila, in an area of \u200b\u200bhigh seismic risk, "the palace of the government" or the Prefecture and the hospital, two buildings that are defined in the parlance "strategic" or in case of disasters should work for coordination and relief have been rendered uninhabitable by the quake.

In a city with such a seismic risk is unacceptable

• relatively new buildings have collapsed, the prefecture is
• collapsed,
• the hospital (opened in 2000) has been rendered unusable (*) ,
• there was no Office of Civil Defense, there were no
• provincial emergency plan (required by law since 1989, I personally participated in the drafting of that for the Province of Udine),

I wonder then, why the buildings were not placed in strategic security with measures of consolidation?

and the judiciary which is .......?? There is an obvious problem of lack of prevention and instead of investigating the directors, who have not complied with the law, it investigates the lack of foresight!

forecast to alert .... ......... what beautiful words ..... To locate an earthquake precursor, it takes research ...... but without research funding, no research (or researchers with fixed-term contract co.co.pro, paid two pounds, with no certainty for the future that might have to go over the rooftops to be heard) that research can be done ... ..... They should also be investigated all the governments that cut indiscriminately resources to research ..... or not?

Give voice to the initiative of researchers from INGV, publicized the initiative (**) .

Sorry for the outburst, all due respect for the earthquake victims and to all those who have lost loved ones or the house, but unfortunately the reality is this.

Greetings

(*) Clarification as Aldo comment from L'Aquila: the project of the San Salvatore in 1967, the shipyard was opened in 1972 and went on for thirty years with five openings, one for each batch (the last is precisely the one in 2000 you mentioned). The real scandal is that the hospital in 2000 was made fully operational and without omitting any control having no certificate of fitness for use.
