Depending on the present and predicted meteorological conditions, it is expected:

  • Possibility of flooding at coastal gullies in historically most vulnerable areas;
  • Damage to structures set up along the coast;
  • Drainage problems in urban systems, especially during periods of high tide, and may cause flooding in historically more vulnerable places;
  • Possible coastal shoreline accidents;
  • Instability of slopes due to the loss of their consistency.
  1. PREVENTIVE MEASURES

The ANPC recommends to the population the adoption of preventive precautionary measures, namely:

 Ensure proper setting of loose structures;

 Take special care along the coastline and riverside areas historically more vulnerable to coastal gullies, avoiding, if possible, walking or staying in these places;

 Avoid activities related to the sea, namely sport fishing, water sports and walks by the sea, as well as parking vehicles very close to the seafront;

 Be aware of meteorological information and Civil Protection and Security Forces indications.
