The National Day for the Prevention and Mitigation of Hydrogeological Risk will be attended by, among others, the Ministers of Infrastructure, Civil Protection, and the Environment and Energy Security Matteo Salvini, Nello Musumeci, and Gilberto Pichetto. To systematically address the problem in the Peninsula, a note from the professionals says, "a minimum requirement of 26.58 billion is estimated" to implement the right initiatives to prevent the worsening of the phenomena resulting from the floods.
For the president of the Italian engineers Angelo Domenico Perrini, there is a need for "a new design of hydraulic works capable of responding adequately to changes in the types of events, such as water bombs. Furthermore, it is necessary to intervene extremely effectively on the times for carrying out the works which, according to all indicators, in our country, take years.," the note says. The National Councils of Engineers and Geologists will hold the event in Rome tomorrow, Thursday 18 April, starting at 10am.
