L’nightmare 1994
the memory of The flood of 22 years ago, which resulted in seventy deaths and damage to more than 20 thousand billion of the old lire, has remained indelible in these parts. And now that the rivers are returning to fear, and swollen by the incessant rains of the red alert, it is inevitable to go back to those dramatic days. “We are afraid, you are bordering on the situation of the ’94″, is the alarm of Sergio Di Steffano, mayor of Garessio, between the municipalities of the province of Cuneo, that are most affected by this violent wave of bad weather. “We have closed all the bridges, factories, and schools – tells the phone the voice busy -. The bars and shops of downtown are flooded”.
The water invades the streets and the houses, the rivers that cross the bridges, felling the trees, and you eat pieces of asphalt. Today, as then, the moist air of the sea still warm, which increases the load of rain. “It seems to be back to the days of the flood of ’94, we are afraid,” says Alfredo Defect, the first citizen of Ceva, another town in the Tanaro valley plagued by the rains. “The situation is serious – he says -. We have closed all the bridges, and we fear that we will remain isolated”. “The damages are all to be verified – said the first citizen – I now only affects the health of people: it will be a night without end”. Twelve hours, or perhaps something more, “of the tribulation to deal with an emergency that can only increase, especially if there is no light”. The electric current goes in and comes out, giving the country a ghostly appearance.
From the ’94, however, prevention has made great strides in Piedmont and the machinery of Civil Protection and is one of the best organized in Italy. “This time, the rainfalls were more intense back then, but fact of the situation was better thanks to the interventions made in the meantime”, says the president of the Piedmont Region, Sergio Chiamparino. “In the Tanaro valley, there are people evacuated from their homes, shops, factories and fields were flooded. The damages are already evident, the situation is very critical. But that tragedy emphasizes, highlighting the differences between now and 22 years ago – has taught us: the bed of the river is more clean, there are more materials and have not verified the effect of the dam on the bridges that, at least for now, they have held; areas have been created, of the overflow”.
