The Civil Protection’s municipal operations centre has been active since Tuesday to monitor the level of the river and coordinate interventions in the city, where Civil Protection and MM teams are at work, also with water pumps, to guard the basin and subways.

In the meantime, the rain continues, and the Lombardy Region’s Natural Hazards Monitoring Functional Centre has confirmed the orange (moderate) warning for hydrogeological and hydraulic risk for today as well.

Meanwhile in Monza and due to the risk of flooding of the River Lambro, kindergartens and schools in the city centre have been closed after moving children and pupils to the City Hall or to other facilities, local sources said Wednesday.
