Severe Damages and Evacuation
The Civil Protection of San Marino and the Territory Department have conducted an assessment following the recent bout of severe weather, revealing extensive damages across the region. The lowland areas, in particular, have experienced significant challenges as torrents persist. It is important to note that San Marino's entire territory is characterized by a high level of hydrogeological and hydraulic risk.
The most critical incident caused by the relentless disturbance was the collapse of the retaining wall on the Scala Malagola deck. This unfortunate event has led to the cordoning off of the area and the necessary evacuation of a family. The safety of the affected individuals remains a top priority for the authorities.
Infrastructure and Environmental Impact
Numerous roads in various castles of the Republic have suffered damage to their surfaces or depressions due to the inclement weather. The road maintenance and restoration efforts are already underway, ensuring the swift return to normalcy and safe travel for residents and visitors alike.
Moreover, the region has witnessed significant bank erosion, further exacerbating the situation. One notable instance occurred on the slope above the Acquaviva shooting venue, where a landslide caused vegetation to collapse. As a result, the parking lot and the structure had to be closed for safety reasons.
Restoration and Future Preparedness
The Civil Protection and Territory Department have promptly activated and scheduled all necessary maintenance, safety measures, and restoration plans. Their collective efforts aim to expedite the return to an ordinary situation and mitigate potential risks in the future. The safety and well-being of the residents remain paramount throughout this process.
