Heavy rains are expected, IGJEUM shows the counties that are at risk of flooding

The last week of September starts with intense rain in some districts.

The Institute of Geosciences has reported the districts where the rainfall is expected to be more intense and where there may be flooding: Shkodër, Lezhë, Kukës, Dibër, Durrës, Tirana, Elbasan, Fier, Berat, Vlorë and Gjirokastër.

According to IGJEUM, it is expected that there will be river floods and landslides in these districts.

"In urban areas, localized flooding problems may appear in these counties, depending on the condition of the sewers. In the rivers Drin-Buna, Lake Shkodra and Drini i Lezha, an increase in flows is expected" , announces IGJEUM.

Even the Ministry of Defense asked the local authorities to take precautions to avoid the damage that the floods could cause.

"The Civil Protection Agency asks the local government structures to take the necessary measures for the continuous control of drainage canal systems, to constantly monitor the condition of river embankments, water catchment dams and catastrophic dischargers, to check the functionality of hydrovores as well as to keep the logistical capacities and human resources of the operational forces in readiness to deal with any possible situation", it is stated in the announcement of the MoD.
