Emilia Romagna: Weather Crisis Leads to Canceled Trains and Road Closures

Weather Crisis in Emilia Romagna

The second night of fear in Emilia Romagna looms as rivers swell, particularly the Lamone. While weather conditions improve, a red alert remains in place for all of Romagna and Bologna. Schools in the Ravenna area will remain closed, but those in Bologna are set to reopen, except in certain affected areas. Forli has suspended educational activities, yet staff will return to work. Starting this afternoon, train services have resumed between Faenza and Forli along the Bologna-Rimini line, which was previously halted at midnight. Over a thousand people are officially displaced, many seeking shelter in emergency accommodations.

Normality Returns Gradually

Meanwhile, conditions are stabilizing in the Marche region, where the severe weather has eased following a morning of intense rain. Efforts are ongoing, particularly in Ancona, to address flooded streets and underpasses.
