VENICE – Veneto, its rivers and canals, remain under special surveillance. Even if the latest bulletin from the Civil Protection gives hope for less intense rains, there is also the warning of landslides in the most affected areas of the Region. As can be seen in the province of Vicenza, where “an inspection is underway in the locality of Gaggion Alto in the municipality of Bassano del Grappa – the Fire Brigade briefly announced in the early afternoon today, Tuesday 21 May – due to a landslide affecting the road connection with Valrovina”. While another team from the VDF command “is evaluating other landslide movements along the Sp 72, which connects Bassano to Asiago”.

ALERT RED IN THE LOWER BRENTA BACCHIGLIONE
In the afternoon the Veneto Civil Protection issued a new warning of hydrogeological and hydraulic criticality which still highlights some alert areas and confirms that the hydrogeological alert for thunderstorms it is yellow in all the Veneto basins. Arpav‘s weather forecasts indicate that, after the intense disturbance yesterday afternoon-evening and today, tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday, the weather in the region will still remain unstable, but with rainfall that will still be more irregular and discontinuous and of much smaller magnitude at the medium level. However, showers and thunderstorms will still be possible, and some locally intense phenomena cannot be ruled out. In light of the forecasts, we would like to point out the declaration of a state of alarm (red alert) due to hydrogeological criticality in the Lower Brenta Bacchiglione basin. The state of pre-alarm (orange) has also been decreed in the Adige-Garda and Monti Lessini and Alto Brenta Bacchiglione Alpone basins, while the state of attention (yellow) has been established in the rest of the alert areas of Veneto.
