In the warning to the population, the National Emergency and Civil Protection Authority (ANEPC) recommends "adopting appropriate behaviour", such as unblocking rainwater drainage systems, correctly securing loose structures, such as scaffolding and panels, and defensive driving on the roads, reducing speed and taking "special care when driving near wooded areas".
In light of the forecasts, ANEPC warns of the possibility of flooding in urban areas due to the accumulation of rainwater due to obstruction of drainage systems and floods "increased by the overflow of the beds of some watercourses, rivers and streams", as well as the detachment of mobile or poorly secured structures and the dragging of loose objects onto the roads.
Particularly in areas recently affected by forest fires, which burned vegetation and covered the ground with ash, ANEPC highlights the risk of landslides, collapses and contamination of drinking water sources.
In its recommendations, Civil Protection also lists the "removal of inert materials and objects that could be swept away or create obstacles to the free flow of water" and "not crossing flooded areas" to "prevent people or vehicles from being dragged into holes in the pavement or open sewage tanks".
