Handling in Dolomites: emergency in Veneto declared!
in the Veneto region, especially in the province of Belluno, there were violent storms on Monday night, which triggered a dramatic landslide. The municipality of Borca di Cadore was particularly affected, where tons of rubble and mud devastated the surroundings. State road 51 "Alemagna", which is an important connection to Cortina d’Ampezzo, was blocked and the fire brigade was continuously deployed to stabilize the situation.

The effects of the storm
The weather conditions called for several traffic restrictions and led to power outages in different parts of the Cadore area. The fire brigade and civil protection are still in use to clear the spilled streets. Large boulders block the entrances to some houses, and sirens sounded for hours while the ground floors were flooded by some buildings.
The Dolomites have a story of similar natural disasters. Handels and floods are not uncommon as a result of severe precipitation, often accompanied by thunderstorms. The combination of the mountainous topography and the extreme weather -related events make the region vulnerable for natural hazards. As early as 2009, two people died in the adjacent Cancia in a similar storm. The current situation again illustrates the high risk that many communities are exposed to these days. To prevent future tragedies, it is important that those responsible in the Veneto region will continue to rely on an active exchange with the local authorities and take preventive measures. The challenges resulting from climate change and extreme weather events will not be less, as the last few days show impressively. The residents can only hope that nature will soon calm down and the clean -up work will be completed quickly so that everyone can live again. outlook and prevention
