Technical inspections by the fire brigade revealed severe structural damage, including cracks in walls and load-bearing elements, prompting an immediate evacuation of the building to ensure public and staff safety.
Emergency Relocation of Healthcare Services to Monterusciello
To prevent interruptions in critical care, Asl Napoli 2 Nord launched an emergency relocation plan shifting essential operations to the Monterusciello community hub on Via Corrado Alvaro, according to municipal updates. The transition covers the single access point (PUA), socio-sanitary integration, home care services (ADI), residential care facilities (RSA), and rehabilitation services encompassing physiatry visits, prosthetics, and therapeutic plans. Administrative services and urgent socio-sanitary provisions became fully active at the Monterusciello site following the emergency directives, with management targeting full operational capacity for all relocated offices by the end of the week.
Local Healthcare Services Remaining in Pozzuoli
Certain specialized medical departments remain stationed within Pozzuoli but have moved to alternative spaces following the structural closures, according to official district plans. The diabetology clinic, otorhinolaryngology and audiology specialist clinics, and the blood collection point now operate at 31 Via Diano, located just a few meters from the evacuated headquarters. This partial retention follows a previous strategic decentralization initiated on June 15 by the Asl general management, which had already moved geriatrics, physiatry, pulmonology, ophthalmology, nephrology, and endocrinology clinics to Monterusciello to better serve chronic patients.
Municipal Support and Housing Assistance for Evacuees
The Municipality of Pozzuoli opened a dedicated operations desk at the Municipal Operations Center (COC) on Via Elio Vittorino to assist residents displaced by earthquake ordinaces and fire brigade evacuation orders, according to local administrative notices. Run in coordination with Civil Protection, the desk helps citizens secure hotel assistance and provides direct support for individuals unable to reach relevant municipal offices through standard telephone channels following the seismic events that affected multiple public structures, including local schools, the wholesale fish market, and the municipal cemetery.
