Storm Boris has caused significant flooding and disruption across northern Italy, particularly in the Emilia-Romagna region, leading to the evacuation of around 1,000 residents. The storm has resulted in school closures and disrupted transportation due to landslides, with authorities advising residents to avoid basements and relocate to upper floors. In Central Europe, the death toll from the storm has risen to 24, with fatalities reported across several countries including the Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, and Austria. Military forces are aiding in recovery efforts while humanitarian aid is being dispatched to affected areas. Local anger is growing in Italy over the government's perceived inaction to combat climate change and improve flood defenses, especially following a deadly flooding incident in May 2023. As extreme weather events become more frequent, experts emphasize the impact of climate change on such disasters.
