Overview
- Protezione Civile lowered the warning from red to orange for December 26 as precipitation tapered, with authorities focused on the overnight passage of flood peaks.
- Municipalities ordered evacuations in Castel Bolognese, Cotignola, Bagnacavallo and Lugo, and reception centers were opened for residents near river channels.
- Monitoring showed the Senio, Santerno and Lamone above the highest threshold (soglia 3) and the Montone near it, with no overtopping reported at the latest update.
- Regional forecasts indicated Idice and Sillaro were in gradual decline, with remaining hydraulic risk tied to downstream propagation of existing crests.
- Rainfall reached 100–150 mm in 48 hours on average with local peaks of 180–200 mm and isolated totals above 200 mm, contributing to isolated families and road closures in hill areas such as Brisighella.
