The Civil Protection of the Campania Region has issued a new Yellow weather alert: even today, intense thunderstorms, although highly localized, may occur between 14 pm and 21 pm.
The alert concerns the whole of Campania: even today the precipitations could be sudden, have a particular consistency in some areas and be accompanied by hail, lightning, gusts of wind.
Therefore, there is a hydrogeological risk due to storms with phenomena of impact on the ground such as flooding, rising water levels of watercourses, water flow on roads, runoff with transport of material, falling rocks or landslides in fragile territories.
Due to the characteristics of this disturbance, attention must also be paid to the risk of damage to roofs from hailstorms and the risk of damage to temporary structures as well as falling branches or trees from gusts of wind. Maximum attention is recommended, even in the absence of precipitation, for a residual risk in the areas affected by precipitation in recent days.
Municipalities are reminded of the necessary activation of the COC (Municipal Operations Centers) and of the measures aimed at preventing, contrasting and mitigating the expected phenomena, also in line with the respective municipal civil protection plans. Also verify the correct reception of the messages by the Regional Operations Room.
