(ANSA) - BOLZANO, AUGUST 30 - In the city of Chiusa there was a flood of the river Isarco. The Civil Protection has invited the population to leave the streets and public squares, and to move to the upper floors of the buildings. The Brenner railway line is currently closed. The flood wave is reaching the town of Egna. Residents of some estrade of the Municipality of Egna are previously evacuated. Evacuees are invited to find shelter with relatives. The middle school gymnasium is also available as emergency accommodation.
In the Isarco valley, the intense traffic on the motorway and on the state road makes it difficult to set up a replacement bus service. Even in Bassa Atesina the situation is very critical; Continuous checks are carried out to decide whether the closure of the railway line is also necessary here. (HANDLE).
