Emilia-Romagna is grappling with severe flooding, as recent extreme weather events have overwhelmed the region.

The ongoing crisis has reignited tensions between regional authorities and the government over funding and resource allocation.

Paride Antolini, President of the Order of Geologists in Emilia-Romagna, emphasizes the need for bold action and acceptance of climate change realities.

He warns that certain areas are inherently vulnerable to floods, and traditional measures are insufficient.

The recent floods have caused significant damage, particularly in Modigliana and parts of Bologna, leading to evacuations and infrastructure collapse.

The region remains on high alert, with schools closed in some areas and ongoing rescue operations.

Antolini calls for a unified effort to adapt to these challenges, urging both public and private sectors to implement sustainable practices.
