Emilia-Romagna is bracing for severe weather as a red alert has been issued from midnight on March 14 for 24 hours.

The region, still recovering from past floods, faces risks of river overflows, landslides, and heavy rainfall.

Schools in Bologna and other affected areas will remain closed, with online classes implemented.

Public spaces like parks and sports centers are also shut, and residents are urged to work remotely.

Evacuations have been ordered in flood-prone zones, and authorities warn against using basements or underpasses.

The fragile state of the terrain, worsened by previous floods, heightens concerns.

Emergency measures are in place to safeguard lives and property.
