In Italy, the supervolcano known as Campi Flegrei to the west of Naples is at a yellow alert level as it is undergoing heightened levels of unrest. Hundreds of earthquakes are occurring every month, but more importantly a dangerous threshold is about to be reached. If ground uplift continues at its present rate, it will surpass the level reached in 1984 which led to the evacuation of 40,000 residents. This video will describe what is occurring at this volcano and why an evacuation might be needed later in the year.

I think the evacuations can wait until the moment of the major eruption. ;^) Orrr, better yet, the entire recent migrant search should be camped there.
The Italians ought to park their Parliament on top of it...
They’d just have to park another one in six to twelve months...
LOL! And thanks for the link to this thread from the other. I’ll just add that last link I posted there to this thread, too...
Note this bit...
“...Pouzzuoli Mayor Luigi Manzoni said “evacuation tests are necessary in Pozzuoli, they will take place in the coming days”...”
Good idea to do in general, but I’m thinking the locals may be genuinely concerned now
