High Tide Causes Flooding in Venice as Tidal Barrier Not Activated

4 年前

Venice was flooded on December 8 after a new flood defense system was not deployed, ANSA reported.

The MOSE flood barrier was activated December 9, and will remain raised until Saturday, local media reported.

La Repubblica said officials were reviewing what happened on December 8, to see if changes “to the procedures so far implemented for the MOSE” may be needed.
