Water availability in Calabria has shown signs of improvement, with the Southern Apennine District Basin Authority reporting that the drinking water severity level for the territory is currently classified as ‘low’. This recovery follows the conclusion of a state of emergency in the provinces of Crotone and Reggio Calabria on August 31.

In response to regional hydrogeological concerns, the Calabria regional government has initiated a programmatic conference to adopt a draft flood risk management plan. The plan, which incorporates approximately 1,000 observations from local municipalities, aims to enhance the prevention and management of hydrogeological risks. Officials stated the plan is designed to be dynamic to allow for future modifications based on the success of specific interventions.
