(ANSA) – ORISTANO, 03 NOV – As expected from the weather alert issued yesterday by the Regional Civil Protection, it has been raining heavily since this morning in much of Sardinia.
In the Oristano area, the incessant rains caused flooding of streets and basements in various municipalities. The most affected were Marrubiu and Terralba where their respective mayors, Luca Corrias and Sandro Pili, closed the schools with an ordinance.
“The greatest emergency occurred precisely in conjunction with the opening of the schools, around 8.15 – explains the mayor of Marrubiu – some flooding had already occurred and I signed the closing order. In some areas such as via Logudoro and via Toscana there were more critical issues with houses, basements and flooded streets. The underpass of the level crossing, which is still closed, is also full of water. Now it has started to rain again. The Coc, the Municipal Operations Center is already active “.
Similar situation in Terralba. “We had a major downpour around 8 – explains the mayor – the sewers worked well, but in a short time a lot of water fell and some areas ended up suffering, with flooded streets and basements. I immediately closed the schools, excluded the high schools and put in place the municipal teams with the vacuum cleaner to help families in difficulty.
Now let’s monitor the situation from the immediately activated Coc “.
Heavy rain and flooding also in Arborea – with some areas ending up under water – and Santa Giusta, but the situation is less worrying. Overall, the firefighters have managed and are currently managing about 70 interventions, especially for basements and flooded streets. (HANDLE).
