The warning and the instructions of the Civil Protection
The Civil Protection appeals to all citizens to be careful in their movements.

- We NEVER cross torrents, streams or flooded roads, on foot or by vehicle. For no reason!
- We follow the relevant announcements in the media and we always follow the instructions of the Authorities.
At the same time, the General Secretariat for Civil Protection Recommends that citizens be especially vigilant, taking measures to protect themselves from the dangers posed by the occurrence of severe weather events.
In particular, in areas where the occurrence of heavy rainfall, storms or stormy winds is forecast, the citizens are advised:
- Insure items that, if swept away by severe weather, could cause damage or injury.
- Ensure that the slopes and gutters of the dwellings are not clogged and operate normally.
- Avoid crossing torrents and streams, on foot or by vehicle, during storms and rainfall, but also for several hours after the end of their event
- Avoid field work and activities in the sea and coastal areas during severe weather (risk of lightning strikes).
