L'emergenza nell'emergenza: il progetto C.A.S.E. di Sassa NSI

The L’Aquila earthquake of 2009 activated an emergency response that took shape in the building of new temporary residential areas. Among these sites, there is one of the 19 C.A.S.E. projects located in the northwest periphery of L’Aquila, in the hamlet of Sassa. The area is bordered on one side by important regional infrastructure and on the other by the river Raio. In December 2010, during the post-earthquake emergency, this residential complex was flooded by the previously mentioned river. Many proposals were made aimed at giving new life to this complex, but none of them includes measures to mitigate the hydrogeological risk that has occurred several times (2010, 2019). Considering this, these kinds of actions are essential to ensure safe use. This work wants to show some possible useful solutions to the highlighted problem through the targeted use of Nature-Based Solutions (NBSs), whose choice is conveyed by the analysis of some in-force planning tools.
