Flood in Italy (2023-05-16)

Description

Activation time (UTC): 2023-05-16 11:00:00
Event time (UTC): 2023-05-16 05:00:00
Event type: Flood (Riverine flood)

Activation reason:
A new wave of severe weather has hit again the areas in southeastern Emilia-Romagna region that were already flooded on 2 May 2023 when three people lost their life. The rains are favoring the movement of landslides in these areas of the middle Apennines already affected, where prevoiusly several hundred people were displaced. On 16 May 2023 at 11:00 the new perturbation has again raised river levels and hydrometric threshold was reached in the basins of the Idice, Samoggia, Savio, Marzeno, Voltre, Marecchia, Pisciatello, Ausa, and Montone rivers. New overflows are expected in the areas as well as possible evacuations. Copernicus EMS Rapid Mapping is requested to provide initial rough estimation, flood and landslide extent identification and monitoring.
