Bologna – Valid until midnight on Sunday 23 June, The Information bulletin 10/2024 (521.34 KB) was issued on the basis of medium-term weather forecasts, the state of vegetation, the number and size of fires found in recent days.
At the end of the meeting on 11 June held via video conference it was decided to keep the scenario of current risk, that is the lowest level corresponding to the Color Greenas established by the case studies indicated by the Department of Civil Protection.
Today’s meeting called via video conference was attended by the Agency for Territorial Security and Civil Protection, the Regional Directorate of the Fire Brigade, the Regional Forestry Carabinieri Command and Arpae-ER.
Weather situation: the phase of instability that characterized the previous weeks is ending and the progressive establishment of a high pressure field on the regional territory is coming to an end.
The rains were abundant especially in Central Western Emilia, while for Romagna the situation was characterized by less rainfall: however, also in consideration of the few and isolated fires that occurred during the period and the state of the vegetation it was concluded, in the end of the meeting that “the weather-climatic conditions and the humidity of the vegetable fuel are such as to generate a fire with very low fire intensity and very slow propagation”, as reported in the Citizen Information Bulletin, which summarizes the risk scenarios and some rules of conduct.
The situation will be re-evaluated during the next meetings.
