While the alert level has been downgraded, firefighters reported a total of 700 interventions in the three days in which Cyclone Harry devastated Sardinia.
The calls were mainly for assistance to the population, for draining basements and cellars, recovery of goods, and joint inspections with various agencies to verify the normal flow of waterways.
Meanwhile, the Region is taking action: this afternoon, Regional President Alessandra Todde will be inspecting the areas of Southern Sardinia most affected by the storm, particularly Maddalena beach in Capoterra, the small port of Perd'e Sali in Sarroch, and the archaeological site of Nora, where damage to the historical and cultural heritage was also discovered.
The president spoke with Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Matteo Salvini, as well as Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani, "who contacted me to ascertain the situation and to express his concern for what is happening in our region. I thank both Salvini and Tajani for their support for Sardinia." "Seeing the affected areas firsthand allows us to fully understand the gravity of what happened and, at the same time, the important work being done by the public sector in recent hours."
In Nora, "the power of the elements and the impact the sea has had on one of Sardinia's most iconic sites are clearly evident. This is a blow to our heritage, which will require adequate resources, time, and great attention to allow for its full recovery and return to the community."
Regarding the state of natural disaster, Todde explained that operational discussions are underway with the mayors and the regional Civil Protection Department: "We have asked the municipal administrations to take action to formally submit the request. The goal is to act as quickly as possible, both to complete the assessment and to provide access to the tools provided by the state of natural disaster."
