Digi24LO·RO·about 11 hours ago
Hydrologists have issued red alerts for flash flooding in Prahova and Dâmbovița following consecutive days of heavy rainfall. The interim Environment Minister acknowledged the lack of immediate mitigation solutions, citing a reliance on long-term infrastructure projects to address systemic flood vulnerability.
Romania's Dâmbovița and Prahova basins are under red flood alerts due to severe storms and saturated soil, leading to flash floods and infrastructure disruption. Concurrently, Chile's Atacama region and Aconcagua River basin are experiencing emergency alerts and red alerts, respectively, due to heavy rainfall and rising river levels. The situation in both countries is confirmed with high confidence.
