Sardinia's Civil Protection Department has extended the red alert for 24 hours. A few minutes after 1:30 PM, the new bulletin was signed by Director General Mauro Merella . The concerns remain twofold: on the one hand, storm surges, with waves up to six or seven meters , which could reach a depth of fifty meters; on the other, rainfall described as "persistent and continuous."
Compared to the bulletin valid from 9 pm on Sunday night, today's bulletin for tomorrow, Tuesday 20 January, confirms the red code for hydrogeological risk , i.e. landslides and floods, in the areas already affected by the same type of alert.
Meanwhile, the flood risk is moving from yellow to orange . This means increased criticality near river mouths and banks, even in urban areas.
"It's going to be a difficult Tuesday," is the belief circulating in the operations room on Via Vittorio Veneto.
