The technical staff of ISPRA moved to Amatrice after a meeting held at the headquarters of the Civil Defense.

Along the way there were not significant phenomena of detachment of blocks, with the exception of a collapse along the connection road between Salaria with Amatrice (still partially contained by the net) (photo attached). Viaducts and tunnels are all viable. Once in Amatrice, engineers made a survey along the southwest side of the mountains of Laga, behind the village (more or less between the villages of Sommati and Cossito), along various roads open to transit (many of which are blocked by the rubble of collapsed houses).

Absence of significant landslides along the slope and of fractures along the roads, except for some minor fractures on the road surface between Sant'Angelo and San Lorenzo Flaviano and Cossito (photo).

The monitoring activities will continue with visits to the north, towards Accumoli, in coordination with the representatives at the Civil Defense and the INGV.
