(ANSA) – TURIN, JULY 1 – “Even today, public works and civil protection technicians are busy with a series of inspections to define an initial estimate of the damage. From current assessments, the damage is significant, but fortunately it does not affect people”. This was reported by the president of the Piedmont Region Alberto Cirio, regarding the inspections in the areas hit by bad weather, with the aim of allowing the drafting of the report necessary for the request of a state of emergency.
“The many interventions to secure the territory carried out in recent years, after the floods of 1994 and 2000 – adds Cirio – have made it possible to limit the impact of a very violent disturbance. For many hours our civil protection has been working with great professionalism and commitment to address this emergency in conjunction with the mayors and prefectures to quickly and together overcome this situation”. The operational modules of Asti, Turin and Novara of the regional mobile column of civil protection are working in the Vco to clear the mud, clean the streets and empty flooded cellars. In Macugnaga, work is being done to restore the damaged aqueduct, while the methane supply has resumed. The road to Alpe Veglia is still interrupted. In Chialamberto (Turin), due to the precautionary interruption of access roads, there are still twenty people isolated, but self-sufficient, and thirty volunteers from the regional coordination of civil protection are present with some vehicles.
