Veneto was hit by a powerful storm that hit in particular the provinces of Verona, Vicenza and Padua. The fire brigade reported over 120 requests for intervention.
The province of Verona is the most affected area as a result of falling trees and heavy flooding. Even teams from the mobile columns of the Venice and Rovigos commands were also sent to support the Scaligeri firefighters.
The President of the Veneto Region declared a state of crisis for the Municipality of Verona and other municipalities in the area.
In the province of Vicenza, firefighters intervened due to strong winds, rain, falling trees and floods. While in the province of Padua firefighters report wind damage and very heavy rain.
The situation is constantly being developed and monitored by the regional Civil Protection. It is possible that within the next few hours, after the damage caused by the bad weather is ascertained, the decree on the state of crisis may be extended by other municipalities in the Veneto region.
