The Government has lost no time in tackling the emergency weather in northern Italy. (((Like I said, it *really* beats being Burmese. For one thing, you don't have to pretend that your country is called "Myanmar."))) This morning, at the end of the summit in the prefecture in Turin Secretary for Civil Protection Guido Bertolaso announced a state of disaster and, shortly afterwards, the Secretary for Defence, Guido Crosetto, gave the green light to the first appropriations.
''The emergency is not over - Bertolaso explained that in the afternoon to meet with President of the Council Berlusconi - the situation will remain critical for at least 24 hours''.
The alert remains high especially in Cuneo. A Savigliano, the flooding of the river Maira has necessitated the evacuation of two neighborhoods. And in the coming hours is awaiting the wave of full Po that, however, according to the Aipo should not cause particular problems as the water level should remain quite contained everywhere.
The situation is slowly improving instead in Turin. (((Yay.))) The feared wave full of Dora Riparia has spread during the night avoiding flooding, while the Po river broke the banks to Valentino, flooding the park, and the Murazzi, invading the premises which are situated along the banks. They were reopened during the morning all the bridges on Dora, closed the last few hours on a precautionary approach, and the Frejus tunnel to heavy traffic.
