Isola Farnese, Rome – Following 40 days of inaccessibility due to two landslides, the first ten residents of the Isola Farnese borgo have been evacuated. These residents have accepted alternative housing provided by the XV Municipality.
Why Were Residents Evacuated?
The decision to evacuate came after the borgo’s only road was cut off by a collapsed embankment, a direct consequence of adverse weather conditions. This made it impossible for residents to reach their workplaces and essential services.
What Assistance is Being Provided?
The XV Municipality has offered alternative accommodation in hotels located in the Cassia area. Agnese Rollo, local Councillor for Social Policies, emphasized the comprehensive support being extended to all citizens. This includes organizing transportation for a frail elderly person and transforming the borgo’s senior center into a community hub with psychological support services. Even a mobile hairdresser is expected to visit soon.
What’s the Plan for Road Repairs?
The Municipality has allocated 1 million euros for the construction of a protective tunnel for the impassable road. However, the completion timeline is not yet clear. Daniele Torquati, the mini-mayor of the XV Municipality, stated that the exact timing would be clarified in the coming days.
