A City in the Crosshairs
Naples and nearby towns like Pozzuoli sit directly next to the Campi Flegrei volcanic area. Millions of people live in this region. Unlike volcanoes in remote areas, this one threatens cities full of homes, schools, and hospitals. If the supervolcano erupts, lava, ash, and deadly gas clouds could quickly devastate these communities. Therefore, local authorities know they must have emergency plans ready for the Naples volcanic area.
