OT the islands near Sicily have been put on yellow alert as a dormant Volcano for the past 133 has suddenly started emitting a plume .
''Civil protection: yellow alert for the volcano of the island of Vulcano
Strengthen monitoring and surveillance activities
Passing alert YELLOW Vulcano
The Civil Protection Department has ordered the transition to the "yellow" alert level for the island of Vulcano.
In agreement with the civil protection structure of the Sicilian Region and with the unanimous opinion of the Commission for the prediction and prevention of major risks, the Department has assessed that the significant variations of various parameters of volcanic monitoring, detected in recent weeks by the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology-INGV and the Institute for Electromagnetic Detection of the Environment CNR-IREA, require some additional measures and initiatives for risk management on the island.
In particular, the "yellow" alert level determines, among other things, the strengthening of volcanic monitoring and surveillance activities (also with the possible involvement of other centers of expertise in addition to INGV and CNR-IREA which ordinarily deal with it ), a constant information link between the scientific community and the other components and operational structures of the National Civil Protection Service, the updating of civil protection plans, a widespread information activity to the resident population on the island and to tourists, with specific reference to raising the level of risk. The civil protection structures of the Sicilian Regional Authority and the Municipality of Lipari have already been activated in this sense to take all the necessary initiatives.
"Thanks to the efficient integration of the scientific community into the civil protection system, today we can count on volcanic monitoring and surveillance systems that allow us to closely follow the evolution of the activity of our active volcanoes", says Fabrizio Curcio, Head of the Department of Civil Protection. “And that's what we're doing on Vulcan. With the "yellow" alert level (which can be followed by orange and red or the return to the ordinary "green" level) it is very important that there is full awareness of the risk, without alarmism, but with great responsibility. "
The island of Vulcano already ordinarily presents a widespread situation of risk for the population connected above all to fumaroles rich in gas and with high temperatures, but at this stage it must be remembered that they can intensify and extend over larger areas and therefore the danger is greater.
Any further significant changes in the situation will be promptly communicated.''
