Avellino will hold a two-day Civil Protection initiative, "Avellino Si-Cura," on Monday 12 and Tuesday 13 October 2026. The programme combines operational exercises, training and public-information activities focused especially on earthquake preparedness.
The event is presented as a way to test the municipal emergency-response system, explain the Civil Protection Plan and raise public awareness of local risks.
Monday: earthquake simulation at the Civil Protection base
Monday's programme is based at the municipal Civil Protection facility on Via Generale Giovanni Rotondi and includes a high-intensity earthquake simulation.
According to the published programme, the simulation is intended to test emergency coordination, designated waiting, reception and responder-assembly areas, assistance for displaced people including vulnerable residents, structural-damage surveys, radio communications and territorial monitoring.
Tuesday: public activities at Piazza Macello
Tuesday's public-facing activities are planned at Piazza Macello, where a Civil Protection village or field base will be set up.
The Piazza Macello event is described as open to residents and involving emergency services, the Fire Brigade, the Army, ASL Avellino, ARPAC and volunteer organisations.
Schools and volunteers included
Schools are included through earthquake-risk lessons and participation in the public demonstrations.
