Do you have a story regarding a climate event?

La recente alluvione in Valle Roya (FR) e Val Vermenagna (IT). Nel mese di ottobre 2020 si è abbattuta sulle due valli una violenta tempesta, soprattuto lato francese, a causa di un clima surriscaldato che ha spinto le nuvole accumulate sulla costa verso l'interno.


How did you respond to this event? And the people around you?

Non sono stata colpita direttamente ma diversi amici e conoscenti che abitano nella zona sono rimasti isolati e hanno perso campi, case e attrezzature.


Can you describe your emotions and feelings during the event and after it? Impotenza e senso di sopraffazione.


Piccolezza dell'essere umano di fronte alla potenza naturale fuori controllo.


Who was the person (or people) and/or the institution, group or community that you feel more "helpful" and close to you during the event?

Le persone del territorio vicino alle valli coinvolte.


What happened in the aftermath in the area affected? There were economic, political and social changes?

Ci sono state, soprattutto lato francese che io sappia, molte azioni di collaborazione tra persone per la riapertura di sentieri e strade. Accoglienza nelle case integre e supporto collettivo.


What key principles did you learn regarding your own climate adaptation experience?

Il cambiamento climatico sta diventanto sempre più percebile anche nei nostri territori e non possiamo più ignorarlo. dobbiamo sviluppare strategie collaborative e cercare di prevenire disastri naturali e morti.
