The Italian government announced plans to allocate €20 million to the region of Emilia Romagna after flooding devastated the region.

The announcement was made by Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni on Friday. “As soon as the request for the declaration of a state of emergency by the Emilia Romagna region reaches the government, a cabinet meeting will be called to allocate 20 million euros to meet the initial needs and to restore essential services, and further allocations will be made available at the outcome of post-emergency reconnaissance,” she said in a statement.

An emergency meeting is scheduled for Saturday. Heavy rain and flooding in the region caused more than 1,000 people to be evacuated, with Traversara among the worst affected villages.

Local mayors asked people to stay on the upper floors or leave their houses. Flooding has also affected other European countries like Poland and the Czech Republic.
