The Italian government declared a state of emergency in the Emilia-Romagna and Marche regions after the severe floods that swept the regions this week, noting that 20 million euros had been allocated for relief.
The state of emergency is expected to last for 12 months to meet the needs of urgent intervention, rescue and assistance.
Many affected areas reportedly experienced similar floods in May 2023, where unprecedented rains killed 17 people and caused major damage.
Scientists warn that the climate crisis is increasing, requiring urgent measures to confront future challenges.
