The lamination basin of the Seveso
river, which has been in operation since 6.30 am, has filled up
on the outskirts of Milan due to torrential rain that has caused
the city's other river, the Lambro, to break its banks and flood
parts of the northern city, local officials said.
The Civil Protection's municipal operations centre has been
active since Tuesday to monitor the level of the river and
coordinate interventions in the city, where Civil Protection and
MM teams are at work, also with water pumps, to guard the basin
and subways.
In the meantime, the rain continues and the Lombardy Region's
Natural Hazards Monitoring Functional Centre has confirmed the
orange (moderate) criticality warning for hydrogeological and
hydraulic risk for today as well.
