DOWNLOAD EBOOKVesuvius, Campi Flegrei or Ischia in the region of Naples in Italy will return to activity because they are still active volcanoes that have not exhausted their eruptive capacity and, therefore, they will surely have other eruptions. We do not know when or even how, because the times of a volcano are not comparable to ours and a rest period of a few hundred, or even thousands of years, is nothing but a blink of an eye in the development of volcanic activity. The Neapolitan volcanoes have an age that varies from a few tens of thousands of years for the younger Vesuvius, to the hundred thousand years for the older Ischia and during their life they alternated long periods of quiescence with equally long periods studded with eruptions. As for how, each eruption makes history in itself and forecasts can only cover a range of possibilities. However from the fury of the volcanoes we can save ourselves, it is important to know that this will be possible only if we know our opponent and if we know how to behave even in the worst case. In this short book we expose our knowledge on Neapolitan volcanoes, on the intervention plans foreseen in case of early warning and also on the general rules of self-behavior to adopt, should the evacuation plans fail or there is no way to put them into practice.
