Until midnight today, Monday 24 June, it will be active in the municipality of Ravenna weather alert number 83, orange for thunderstorms, yellow for hydraulic and hydrogeological criticality, issued by the regional civil protection agency and Arpae Emilia-Romagna. The complete alert can be consulted on the Emilia-Romagna Weather Alert portal (https://allertameteo.regione.emilia-romagna.it/) and also through X (@AllertaMeteoRER); on the portal there are also many other in-depth materials, including indications on what to do before, during and after weather warnings, in the “Informed and prepared” section (http://bit.ly/allerte-meteo-cosa- Do).
For Monday 24 June Persistent and heavy rains are expected in the regional territory; in the first part of the day the rains will be associated with thunderstorms, even of strong intensity. Increases in hydrometric levels in watercourses will be possible in correspondence with heavy rainfall. Limited phenomena of erosion of the shoreline due to the rise of wave motion, which could reach two meters in height, cannot be ruled out.
“I recommend – declares Mayor Michele de Pascale, first municipal civil protection authority – to implement appropriate self-protection measures, including, in this case: pay attention to any flooded roads and do not access the underpasses if they are flooded; secure objects sensitive to the effects of rain, hail and wind or likely to be damaged; pay particular attention to the state of the watercourses and avoid accessing the huts along them (if the floodplain floods the hut must be evacuated)”.
Please note that the Municipality of Ravenna has equipped itself with the Alert System telephone information service, which can be used to disseminate civil protection and public utility communications to all citizens. Those who have not yet done so are therefore invited to register for the service by registering using the form at the link https://registrazione.alertsystem.it/ravenna
