Exactly one year ago, on 21 and 22 November 2022, Bosa was hit by the terrible storm caused by the "Poppea" cyclone which had created fear and enormous damage.
Roads, canals, bridges, embankments were hit, but the consequences were also very serious for homes, commercial establishments within the town center and in the countryside with particularly damaged agro-livestock structures. On the same day, in order to deal with the emergency situation with extraordinary means and deal with situations of danger and damage to citizens and various activities, the municipal council declared a state of natural disaster.
But twelve months after the terrible event, at what point is the procedure so that private individuals can also obtain compensation for the damages suffered? The question comes to Fratelli d'Italia city councilor Rosalia Acca , worried about legitimate complaints from citizens.
«I went to the municipal offices to ask about the situation and was told that the procedure had not yet been completed, even though the applications for granting contributions had arrived at the municipality some time ago. It is useless to underline - he adds - how many families had been forced to throw away furniture, household appliances and many other goods without having received anything so far".
Mayor Piero Casula confirms that «at present the entire bureaucratic process to provide answers to citizens has not yet progressed, as the funds must arrive through the specific regional law for this type of intervention. Resources not yet granted by the Region which normally grants every two years. We are certain - highlights the mayor - that this fund from which the Municipalities will then be able to draw will be defined within the year by the Region and we will thus be able to follow up on the requests".
Deputy mayor Federico Ledda , who is personally following the issue, underlines the path that will have to be followed as soon as the contributions are available. «We will make a public notice which is already ready – he highlights – while we have long defined and agreed on a request form with the Region itself which can be filled in and registered by the applicants».
However, the process for the compensation of companies and activities was different, where inspections were carried out in order to verify the extent of the damage suffered and then proceed with the payment of the expected compensation. As regards public works and the most urgent interventions, the Council had asked to use the resources of the infrastructure loan.
