Arco Implements Emergency Support and Verification for Flood Damage
The rain continues to fall. But in Arco, something is moving to support those who have suffered damage during these days of torrential rain. The Veronesi administration, in fact, has gone from words to action, establishing an emergency operations unit, creating a technical verification team, and setting up a telephone line accessible to everyone who wants more information on how to obtain potential funding for repairs of damage caused by the incredible wave of bad weather.
All those registered in Arco who have had cellars, garages, warehouses, and laboratories flooded will be able to rely on the active support of the municipality. Thanks to the “Emergency Operations Cell” – composed of the mayor, the deputy mayor, the public works assessor, the head of the technical area, commanders of the municipal police and fire brigade, and an expert geologist in natural disaster issues – a check and monitoring of at-risk situations will be guaranteed, with interventions coordinated with the Province and the government commissioner.
Verification and Assistance Services
The “Technical Verification Cell”, on the other hand – composed of an official from the technical office and a municipal police officer – will be tasked with responding to requests for site inspections aimed at verifying the actual existence of damages. For damages requiring repair, registered individuals will also be able to access contributions.
To allow everyone to learn about how to access these contributions, the municipality of Arco has established a telephone number at the technical offices: 0464/583640. Additionally, this contact can provide information on the forms (which can be collected at the same municipal offices) to be filled out to request compensation.
Besides the municipal number, registered individuals can also contact various provincial offices depending on the type of damage sustained. For structural damages to a residence, they can call 0461/497604 of the “Housing Construction Service”.
If agricultural businesses have been damaged, the reference number is 0461/495638 of the “Structures, Management, and Development of Agricultural Enterprises Service”.
If the damage has affected infrastructures of land improvement cooperatives or other public entities, the responsible parties can contact 0461/495773 of the “Agricultural Infrastructure and Land Reorganization Service”.
Finally, for damages to personal structures, artisans can call 0461/495730 of the “Artisanship Service”, while merchants can contact 0461/495730 of the “Commerce Service”.
