Severe weather warning: Authorities evacuate endangered areas in Switzerland

New storm warning: Population evacuated, authorities react quickly

Switzerland is again faced with the risk of serious storms. After the devastating events of the past few days, the authorities warn of further natural disasters. The cantons of Ticino and Wallis in particular are affected and take drastic measures to protect the population.

evacuation due to the impending storm

In the canton of Ticino, people in the Bavonatal and in the upper Maggiatal are evacuated with helicopters to protect them from possible landslides and floods. After three German holidaymakers were killed due to a landslide a week ago, the authorities react quickly to the renewed severe weather warning. The security of the citizens has a top priority.

The cantonal police warn of the unpredictable effects of rainfall on the already damaged area. It is unclear how strong the storm will be and what damage they could cause. Therefore, the crisis team decided to carry out the evacuation over a large area and block the access roads to prevent further dangers.

warning and recommendations in the canton of Valais

The canton of Valais also faces impending stabilizers that could lead to landslide and flood. Nevertheless, predictions show that the water level is likely to increase as much as before. Nevertheless, the cantonal leadership organ calls on caution and outputs clear recommendations for the safety of the population.

• travel should be restricted.
• It is essential to pay attention to bridges or on the banks of water.
• people should stay away from watercourses and do without photography of flood events.
• The instructions of the authorities are strictly followed.
• no risky journeys should be undertaken on rivers.

After the heavy Alpine uniforms, which devastated parts of Switzerland, the highway to Italy is accessible again. The quick reaction of the authorities and the evacuation measures show that the protection of the population comes first. It is important to prepare for the forces of nature and to react appropriately to prevent possible disasters.
