Danger to life in the Ticino canton: Evacuation of the Bavonatal

evacuation of the bavonatal in Ticino due to the impending storm

The current storms in the canton of Ticino in Switzerland have led to a serious situation that endangers people's lives. For this reason, the authorities ordered the evacuation of a large part of the Bavonatal and the upper Maggiatal.

The residents in these areas are now evacuated with the help of helicopters to ensure their safety. This measure takes place as a precaution, since the area in the Bavonatal has changed a lot after heavy rainfall and new storms could bring more dangers.

A week ago there was a tragic tragedy in Fontana in the Bavonatal, in which three German vacationers died through a landslide. The fatal effects of the forces of nature illustrate the urgency of evacuation.

The cantonal police warn of possible risks and emphasize that unpredictable events could occur even with lower rains. It is therefore of crucial importance to ensure the security of the residents and to evacuate the valley for security reasons.

Bavonatal - a remote and wild area

The Bavonatal is known for its remote location and the few small hamlets that exist there. The exact number of people concerned was not published, and it is also unclear how many tourists are still in the region. For those who have no accommodation with acquaintances or relatives, emergency accommodation was set up in Ascona.

The evacuation of the Bavonatal shows the seriousness of the current storm situation and illustrates the importance of preventive measures to protect the life and safety of people in the region.
