Fortunately, as things stand, there have been no reports of damage to people or property,‘ he explains. ’During the night, the Crisis Unit also met with the National Department of Civil Protection, whom I thank for their usual promptness.” Occhiuto extends ‘special thanks to the head of the Department, Fabio Ciciliano, for his immediate involvement and the constant support provided to our Region. The meeting was also attended by the Regions of Puglia and Sicily, where the earthquake was clearly felt’.
