homeland security is a priority of this country
Italy is a country that has often incomparable natural beauty with those of other areas of the world. A heritage that is being gradually but increasingly depleted of bad policy choices made by the ignoble and mingling with the business committee, the lobby of the cement and the gangs are always ready to play havoc with the area just to make money. An evil plot that wallows and feeds on the mafia bourgeoisie. Italy is in fact also the country where 70% of is common to geological risk, as confirmed by the Environment Report 2010 recently presented by Italy Legambiente.
The landslides and natural disasters, partly because of climatic changes are a major priority of the political agenda not only at national and local levels. Unfortunately, they also raise appetites jackals, as was also the case with the Eagle of the earthquake.
In Italy for decades the landslides, mudslides and floods in particular, resulting in huge loss of life and frequent destruction of settlements, infrastructure, and cultural activities in the territory. The prevention and management should therefore be a priority political agenda. The considerable financial resources to public expenditure in recent years have not actually managed to reduce the risks. This demonstrates the serious structural weaknesses of the management of territories and especially the lack of action in a state of emergency and is perhaps due in particular, as we're seeing clearly now, the clear political will to act in an emergency, so as to circumvent the rules and to use the most expeditious methods for handling affairs without red tape. All this even at the cost of higher payments and lower quality control on the legality of actions and decisions. And all the above without much more far-sighted policy planning rehabilitation and prevention of hydrogeological underway. Tap
policy put an end to poor urban settlements, to poor management of river basins, the weakness of the fight against deforestation and industrial pollution. How
Federation of the Left in the regions where we are going to govern as well as in those where we will be in opposition, then we must be able to implement proposals on regional policies relating to hydrogeological and keep up the attention of governments premises on the problem, trying to avoid acting after yet another tragedy.
remember that we are talking about 5581 municipalities, representing 70 percent of the total, a potential high risk. Always as the Federation of the Left and as PRC, with our clubs and our activists, we must therefore be the sentinels, antennas ready to pick up the signals of failure to monitor the area, report, denounce, to propose solutions in terms of numbers to be allocated.
From 1998 to 2007 spending on the rehabilitation of areas affected by major flooding was over 10 billion euro. A 2003 estimate made by the Ministry of Environment quantified in 43 billion euro funds necessary to secure the areas identified at risk landslides and floods. Undersecretary Bertolaso \u200b\u200bafter the tragedy that struck the Messina spoke of 25 billion, while its fellow government Altero Matteoli quantified them in 35. In short, even by the executive on this serious issue made up their minds.
The fact remains that addressing the problem are enormous resources that are not found with the proclamations or the spectacular. You might think, however, such as removing them from the many works unnecessary and disastrous for the area that the current government tries to carry on.
It 's time to say enough to the tragedies announced. Sarno, Soverato, Versilia, and more recently Giampilieri Zanclea ladder and, in the minds of the Italians appear as synonyms of avoidable tragedies. These tragic events are evidence that the safety of the area is one of the priorities of this country, the truly great public work to which direct resources, skills, projects and investments.
The tragedies serve at least as a warning for the future. You will not have to repeat similar environmental disasters. We therefore strongly points to a public intervention that focuses on a firm commitment on the side of the landslide risk and soil conservation.
