In the cities of Chiusa there was a flood of the Isarco river. 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 Brenner motorway is closed in both directions between Bolzano and San Michele for safety reasons. The Adige is in fact overflowed in Egna.
The residents of some streets of the Municipality of Egna are previously evacuated. The 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 main 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.
