Description
This video describes the volcanic activity Italy (Risk, Threats, Scenarios, Impacts, Events).
Italy faces volcanic risks, notably in the Campi Flegrei and Vesuvius regions. Campi Flegrei, near Naples, is an active volcanic field with the potential for large-scale eruptions that could impact densely populated areas.
Vesuvius, infamous for the destruction of Pompeii, remains one of the most closely monitored volcanoes globally. The risk lies in the densely populated urban areas surrounding these volcanoes, where eruptions could lead to significant loss of life and property.
In addition to direct volcanic hazards, the socio-economic impact includes potential disruptions to critical infrastructure, evacuation challenges, and long-term consequences for local communities, emphasizing the importance of preparedness and risk mitigation measures in these high-risk zones.
