Emilia-Romagna is bracing for severe weather as heavy rains and strong winds continue to batter the region.

Authorities have issued orange and yellow alerts for hydraulic and hydrogeological risks, with rivers like Reno and Secchia at risk of significant flooding.

The mountainous areas face potential landslides due to saturated soil.

Bologna has activated its Emergency Operations Center and is monitoring critical infrastructure.

Two more storm systems are expected, bringing intense rainfall and winds up to 61 km/h.

Residents are urged to stay cautious as conditions may worsen before improving later in the week.
