Not quake that kills but house says Ciciliano

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 13 - It is not the earthquake directly that kills people but the house that collapses onto them, Italian Civil Protection chief Fabio Ciciliano said Thursday saying that residents in the Naples area, which was hit by a concerning but not very damaging quake early Thursday, would be helped with ongoing assessments of the safety and quake-proofness of their buildings.
    It's not the earthquake that kills, but the house we live in", he said, reiterating that the major "concern" regarding the Campi Flegrei or Phlegraean Fields area is the "urbanization" and "the quality" of the buildings.
    Ciciliano added that citizens can already request "free inspections by technicians", to verify the vulnerability of homes, which is different from habitability. "We have already started a study on the buildings of the Phlegraean Fields, an important work that will help citizens understand the level of quality and safety of the homes they live in" he adds (ANSA).
