Local authorities direct residents to evacuate ground floors and basements in flood-prone areas starting tonight.
In response to a red weather alert issued by the Emilia-Romagna Regional Agency for Environmental Protection (Arpae), the Municipality of Bologna has put forth an evacuation order for residents living on the ground floors, basements, and lower levels of buildings in specific areas.
This notice pertains particularly to streets located in the districts of Borgo Panigale-Reno, Navile, Porto-Saragozza, Santo Stefano, and Savena, and is effective from 10 PM today, March 13, and will remain in effect until the emergency concludes.
The municipality has emphasized the importance of relocating to upper floors as a precautionary measure.
Residents are encouraged to prepare necessary provisions for overnight stays or to find alternative safe accommodations independently.
For those unable to access upper floors or lacking other safe overnight options, residents are advised to contact the Local Police's Radio Operational Center at 051 266626 for assistance in locating designated reception facilities that have been set up by the municipality.
Additionally, individuals who are non-self-sufficient or unable to evacuate independently are urged to inform the Local Police, which will initiate services for safe transportation.
As a further consequence of the severe weather forecast for Friday, March 14, the Bologna FC has announced the postponement of the charity match, the Partita del Cuore, featuring legends from Bologna, Parma, and Cesena.
Originally scheduled for 8:30 PM at the Palasavena in San Lazzaro, the event has been rescheduled for a later date.
