The weather situation in Trentino worsens, which last night I had booked a series of inconvenient storms, flooding of houses and underground rooms in various places, from Trento to Rovereto, from Pergine to Riva.
Civil Protection now launches the orange alert and points out a series of risks that could also cause interruptions in the road network, due to landslides or floods, and cuts in electricity services.
“Following today’s weather forecasts – the Province explains – the orange alert is declared: widespread and persistent rains are expected from Saturday afternoon, which will last at least until Sunday afternoon. This phase will also be accompanied by heavy showers and thunderstorms that can determine precipitation intensities greater than 20 mm per hour.
The cumulative rain forecast for the entire duration of the event will be around 70 to 100 mm on average, up to 150 mm in the southern and western sectors, with locally higher peaks) and, according to the assessments that emerged at the Department meeting today, it is possible, as of today and in the coming days, critical issues are mainly due to: erosions and landslides in the hydrographic network, surface runoff with possible material transport phenomena, floods, landslides and rapid flows; strong gusts of wind, hail and lightning.
These critical aspects can also cause inconveniences and effects (including interruptions) in the road system and in the aerial communication and service distribution networks.
The entire civil protection system of Trentino is activated during the entire state of alert. The competent provincial services for the aforementioned criticalities are to monitor the territory, closely monitor the evolution of events and their effects on the ground, ensuring a timely intervention when necessary.
