The first assessments have allowed the Autonomous Province of Trento's civil protection technicians to order the return home of the first evacuees, who had been removed from their homes as a precautionary measure. There are more than forty people, almost the entire group that had been evacuated in the Pera di Fassa area due to an unstable boulder. Assessments by geologists and inspections conducted also with the fire brigade's drones have defined the situation in greater detail, and only the few residents (five people) of one dwelling have been evacuated.
No people were evacuated in Campitello di Fassa and Mazzin, where roads and garages are being cleared. In Vigo di Fassa about twenty people are waiting for the go-ahead to return home. The largest group - at least 150 people - is instead coming from a couple of hotels and some houses in the Pozza di Fassa area where, on the orographic right, there are several points where ground subsidence has occurred
Overall, however, the situation now appears calm, it has stopped raining and - after the appropriate measures have been taken to ensure the safety of people - monitoring with drones and cleaning operations are continuing.
On the traffic situation front, work is in progress to allow the reopening of the state road at Mazzin di Fassa and Fontanazzo. Traffic is being diverted using a short section of the bicycle path.
