Bad weather, red warning in Emilia Romagna, more than 3 miles away. Lepore: ‘We will ask for a state of emergency’ – News

The flooding of rivers in Emilia-Romagna continued overnight with the flood extending from the metropolitan area of ​​Bologna, affecting Ravenna, Modena, Reggio and traveling to Piacenza. The acting president of the Department, Irene Priolo, said this, inviting residents to follow the mayor’s instructions to the letter.

“We had several critical cases in the metropolitan area of ​​Bologna, also because we were given different models of the evolution of the disturbance compared to the real one.

At first, most of the emergency cases were concentrated on Bologna, and then almost all the tributaries on the right and left sides of the Rhine were flooded. attending Umberto Tozzi’s concert at the Unipol arena was missed.

“We are engaging in civil protection in agreement with the mayors and together with the firefighters in coordination with the Prefecture of Bologna, especially regarding evacuations on the upper floors”, said Priolo , “and we follow the situation of the streets where it is not possible to circulate.”

During the night, a breach of the Quaderna embankment was reported in the town of Medicina and Sillaro towards Ravenna, while the level of the Senio in Tebano is stable. A technical fault was also reported on the website of Arpae (Emilian Environmental Protection Agency) which prevented taking pictures of river levels.

“We are monitoring the situation with staff at the observation points in Tebano and across the Senio and no other critical issues have been identified.

“Don’t leave your house, stay safe, many roads are impassable” is the mayor’s plea that Priolo repeated.
