Overview

• More than 3,000 tremors have rattled Campi Flegrei over six months, including a magnitude 4.4 quake in May, the strongest since 1985.
• Daily carbon dioxide emissions have climbed to 4,000–5,000 tons, indicating magma movement toward the surface.
• Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology reports magma now lies just a few miles underground, raising eruption concerns.
• Scientists observe accelerating ground deformation, gas releases and crustal cracking as key precursors to a potential eruption.
• Authorities have developed comprehensive evacuation protocols for the Naples metropolitan area’s four million residents.
