Landslide Collapses Home in Friuli as Searches Continue for Two Missing

Exceptional overnight rain swelled the Judrio, prompting a wide search-and-rescue deployment.

Overview

  • Firefighters pulled one person alive from the collapsed house in Brazzano di Cormòns, and the survivor was taken to Udine hospital with a fractured leg.
  • Two residents remain unaccounted for as specialists from GOS and the Veneto USAR team work with canine and river-rescue units on unstable terrain.
  • Reinforcements from the Trieste and Pordenone fire commands are supporting ongoing operations with local crews from Udine and Gorizia.
  • Cormòns recorded 152 millimeters of rain in six hours, and the overflowing Judrio river flooded homes, fields and roads across the area.
  • Emergency services logged roughly 200 overnight calls, basement areas at Palmanova hospital were inundated without disrupting care, and several routes in Visco, Trivignano Udinese and Chiopris Viscone were impassable.
