UPDATE: Egna evacuation has started, 600 people invited to leave their homes. The Fire Brigade is welcoming displaced persons in the gymnasium of the German-language secondary school.
The Civil Protection of Bolzano, with the Fire Brigade, are evacuating much of the village of Egna: The Adige has indeed exceeded the maximum alert level this morning and continues to grow, while the afternoon rain continues to feed the river.
“The Office of Hydrology and Dams expects a further rise in the level of the Adige River for this afternoon – writes the Egna Fire Brigade -. The alluvial pier via Stazione near the SS12 underpass near the supermarket “Amort” will be partially blocked. It is still possible to pass by car. There is the possibility of having to evacuate residents in the following areas: Via Stazione; Via San Rocco; New alley; Via Isola di Sotto; Via Isola di Sopra; Via Josef-Maria-Pernter. These residents are asked to move valuables from the basement and the ground floor to the upper floors. “
“The evacuation will be announced by the Civil Protection siren – they add – one minute of increasing and decreasing siren without pauses”
The Adige is especially observed throughout the course, and also worries the city of Verona, which asks to be able to open, in an emergency, the Adige-Garda tunnel. “Given the level of the Adige, for prudential purposes, the eventual opening of the Adige-Garda spillway tunnel has been prepared”, says the councilor for civil protection of the Veneto Region, Gianpaolo Bottacin. In fact, the bulletin issued by the Arpav Veneto, with regard to the Adige river, reports that the first guard level in Verona has been exceeded, with the water level rising.
