Why is the Alert "Green"? Color Code Explanation
The choice of green for the alert could be confusing, but the Civil Protection Department clarifies the point: the color code (green, yellow, orange, red) applies exclusively to hydrogeological and hydraulic risks related to precipitation. Since no significant rainfall is forecast in this case, but only the wind and sea hazard, the alert defaults to the minimum level of "green." However, this should not be misleading: the situation remains potentially dangerous and requires the utmost attention.
The region remains under a state of vigilance, with the coasts on the front lines facing the impending storm. Residents are advised to follow the authorities' instructions and exercise extreme caution, avoiding high-risk areas during the peak of the storm surge.

The green weather alert is strange, because there are strong winds and rough seas. I don't understand how it's possible it's only green; it's risky for the coasts and for the people who live there.
