Pozzuoli, Italy - Recent

Frequent earthquakes in souther Italy's Campi Flegrei volcano cluster over the past year have led to growing fears among those who living in vicinity over a volcanic eruption.

About 102,000 people live in the Campi Flegrei volcanic area and about 500,000 people around the area live in the "red zone" as defined in the National Emergency Planning for Volcanic Risk.

Furthermore, the volcano is upwind of Naples, so there are more than 800,000 residents outside the red zone who would be affected by large amounts of ash.

Small tremors have reportedly become more frequent since last summer, with scientists recording more than 1,000 a month. Two larger quakes occurred on May 20 and July 26, reaching magnitudes of 4.4 and 4.0, respectively, and causing fear in the town of Pozzuoli at the heart of the volcanic area.

Residents told China Central Television (CCTV) that they still remember the days when they took shelter in the streets.

In 2016, the Italian government planned several sites across the country for the evacuation and relocation of affected people, but residents say the plans have failed to bring the desired results.

Faced with unpredictable disasters, some citizens reacted more calmly, unwilling to leave their home.
