This week the joint teams from EUCENTRE and Università di Pavia have been appointed by the coordinating institution to carry out safety inspections of the cultural heritage in the Marche region.
For what concerns temporary accomodation, the managing system DESIGNA is still being used by the DPC (Civil Protection Department) and by the Umbria and Abruzzo regions to manage housing needs, in particular after the last quakes and the recent snowfall that increased the number of evacuated people.
Based on the “Designa” managing system, new housing units are being organised, and new features are being implemented so as to answer new and emerging needs.
