EU supports #Italy following deadly floods
The Commission's 24/7 Emergency Response Coordination Centre has been in constant contact with the Italian authorities to offer EU support as heavy floods have affected many parts of the country. The EU's Copernicus satellite mapping service has been activated, at the request of the national authorities, for the affected areas in Sicily and Veneto.
In Brussels on 5 November, Commissioner Stylianides met with Agostino Miozzo, director of the office promotion and integration of the national service of the Italian Civil Protection Department to discuss the current emergency in Italy. “We stand in solidarity with the Italian people and authorities at this difficult time. Our thoughts are with the victims and all those affected by the deadly floods as well as with the first responders working tirelessly on the ground. The EU has mobilized its satellite mapping service to help the national authorities. We are ready to provide more support if requested,” said Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management Commissioner Stylianides.
Photos of the Emergency Centre are available, as well as a video of the EU's Copernicus programme and a factsheet on the EU's emergency centre.
