Morelli, 470 million euros from Cipess to prevent and combat hydrogeological instability

470 million euros arriving from Cipess to finance the cohesion investments planned by the Minister for Civil Protection and Maritime Policies. This is what Undersecretary of State Alessandro Morelli declared in a note on the sidelines of today's session of the Cipess which, among other things, approved the allocation of these resources from the 2021-2027 Development and Cohesion Fund, for the financing of the interventions envisaged by the Cohesion Agreement signed on 4 June 2026 by the President of the Council of Ministers and the Minister for Civil Protection and Maritime Policies.

"The resources - continues Undersecretary Morelli - will finance prevention and safety interventions to combat hydrogeological instability and to protect the soil".

"Among the most important interventions admitted to financing - adds the Undersecretary - I highlight, among others, the adaptation of the main embankments of the Po river, financed with 10 million euros, the hydraulic arrangement of the Biferno River, in the Molise territory, worth 39 million euros, the plan for the mitigation of hydrogeological risk in the municipality of Minori in the province of Salerno, financed with 29 million euros, and in the municipality of Casamicciola for 10 million euros, as well as the flood risk mitigation intervention in urban centers worth 25 million euros, which affects the Liguria and Tuscany regions and all the southern regions".

"Today's decision by CIPESS - concludes Senator Morelli - follows what has already been established by the Committee with the programmatic allocation of the 2021-2027 FSC resources to the central administrations and confirms the Government's commitment to effectively complete the implementation of the cohesion policies for the 2021-2027 programming, reserving - as evident in this case - particular attention to the topic of preventing and combating hydrogeological instability and reducing risk seismic, as well as activities connected to individual projects for the valorisation and development of the territory.
