In light of the yellow alert issued by the regional Civil Protection, the mayor of Benevento, Clemente Mastella, has issued a warning for adverse weather conditions from 6 PM today and for the following 24 hours; particularly for the Sannio area, ‘precipitations, including showers and thunderstorms, and strong winds with possible gusts’ are expected. Therefore, Mastella urges the population to adhere to the behavioral norms of prudence and caution provided in case of a weather alert for hydrogeological risk and wind gusts.
The mayor thus advises avoiding basements or ground-floor premises, especially those along roads known for significant water runoff, and to constantly monitor the water runoff levels. In case of flooding, immediately disconnect the electricity; proceed with great caution if necessary to cross a road underpass, a critical site during a weather alert, checking its accessibility and, if not, immediately notify emergency numbers 112, 113, 115; pay maximum attention in sites already reported for hydrogeological risk (slopes and hillsides for possible landslides and mudslides) and hydraulic risk (underpasses and sewer collector areas for possible flooding); observe particular caution in movements, limiting them to what is strictly necessary; pay attention near trees and vertical structures for potential falls of branches, trees, poles, signs, or scaffolding and, in any case, report any precarious stability of such elements even in ordinary situations, notifying emergency numbers 112, 113, 115; securely fasten or remove from windows and balconies any movable elements such as plants, covers, temporary structures, or any object that could be carried away by the wind.
