In the Levant, from Portofino and inland from the Scrivia valley on the border with Tuscany, it will be yellow until midnight today. "In the central areas of the region - explains Arpal - the degree of saturation of the land, due to the rains of the past few days, has made the territory more vulnerable and therefore greater attention is needed to the occurrence of more intense phenomena". At the moment, following the wave of bad weather that has struck Liguria for some days, the evacuees are 16 in Campoligure, settled immediately, 49 in Rossiglione, also already settled. In the imperiese, in Pigna, the 15 evacuees returned. Even the 4 people who had been evacuated to Murialdo (SV) returned to their homes. The isolated people in the driveway, but with the possibility of moving on foot, are all in the Genoese hinterland and amount to 14 in the Municipality of Campoligure, 4 in the Municipality of Rossiglione.

Lake Maggiore is growing, but abundantly below the danger threshold. Two fishermen stranded in Chivasso along the Po river on a gravel islet surrounded by the sudden rise in water level were rescued and rescued by the Turin fire brigade. The two were transported on the embankment by alpine river speleo operators after a short flight.

Lazio, civil protection alerted
"The Regional Functional Center of Lazio has today adopted a criticality notice with an indication that from the afternoon of today, Thursday 24 October, and for the following 12 hours, hydrogeological criticalities are expected for orange-coded storms on the coastal North, Rome and coastal basins southern yellow code on the Middle Tiber, the Apennines of Rieti, Aniene and the Liri basin. The warning of adverse weather conditions issued yesterday remains valid.The permanent operations room of the Lazio Region has therefore issued the alert of the protection system regional civil and invited all the structures to adopt the fulfilments of competence. For every emergency the population will be able to refer to the municipal Civil Protection structures to which the regional operations room will offer constant support ". The Civil Protection of Lazio communicates this in a note.

Campania, alarm for hail and wind
On Campania Yellow weather alert, starting from 10pm until 10am tomorrow, due to thunderstorms with hailstorms and gusts of wind. The Regional Civil Protection has issued the bulletin concerning zone 1 (Piana Campana, Naples, Islands, Area Vesuviana) and zone 3 (Penisola Sorrentino-Amalfitana, Monti di Sarno and Monti Picentini). "Precipitation to a possible reverse or temporal character, even intense, is expected, especially on the municipalities of the coastal strip and on the islands". Wind gusts are also possible during thunderstorms. Storms will be characterized by forecast uncertainty and rapid evolution, with consequent possible damage to roofs and temporary structures due to gusts of wind, lightning strikes, possible hailstorms and falling branches or trees. Among the main scenarios of the effect of ground precipitation and therefore connected to the hydrogeological risk for thunderstorms, there are "surface run-offs with possible phenomena of transport of material; flooding of underground rooms and those on the ground floor; superficial flow of water in roadways and possible regurgitation phenomena of meteoric water disposal systems with overflow and involvement of depressed urban areas, occasional superficial landslides linked to particularly fragile hydrogeological conditions, in basins of limited dimensions ". The Civil Protection of the Campania Region recommends the competent authorities to "put in place all the measures necessary to prevent and combat the phenomena expected, both with regard to the hydro-geological risk connected to thunderstorms and to the correct keeping of the structures exposed to the stresses of the winds and wave motion ".
