Event: Earthquake
Location: Italy Province of Modena About 25 miles northwest of the central city of Bologna

Number of Deads: 15 person(s)
Number of Injured: 200 person(s)
Number of Missing: 5 person(s)

Situation:

A strong earthquake also left 350 injured, and came just days after another quake in the same region wrought death and destruction. One woman was pulled out alive from the rubble in the town of Cavezzo, officials said. Firefighters told Sky news that the woman yelled out to rescuers as they were about to reach her on Tuesday night in the rubble of her kitchen. She had gone into the building, which had been damaged by the region’s May 20 quake, reportedly to retrieve some clothes, when Tuesday’s 5.8 magnitude quake struck, collapsing the apartment building of several stories. Rescuers spent the day combing through the debris for one person who still remains missing, after a series of strong quakes that caused widespread panic among residents. Authorities said the region was struck by three tremors of between 5.1 and over 5.3 magnitude, following a 5.8 magnitude quake during morning peak hour when people were heading into work. “Everything’s collapsed, it’s chaos, buildings across the town are down,” a fireman in the tiny town of Cavezzo told Corriere della Sera newspaper.

The first quake struck about 60km east of Parma, according to the Geographical Institute of Modena, and sent panicked residents rushing into the streets in quake-struck cities including Pisa and Venice. The civil protection authority updated the quake’s toll to 16 people killed and around 350 injured as authorities warned that more aftershocks were possible in upcoming days. “The sequence (of aftershocks) will be long and we cannot rule out that other strong quakes could happen,” said Stefano Gresta, the head of the country’s national institute of geophysics and volcanology (INGV). Tuesday’s quakes followed a 6.0 magnitude quake in the industrial northeast on May 20 which killed six people and left thousands in makeshift tent dwellings, with many homes and historic buildings reduced to rubble. “Everything was shaking, we ran out into the streets. The roads are now blocked by people trying to flee the centre in case there’s an aftershock,” Corriere della Sera reporter Elvira Serra said from the small town of Cento. Historic chapels, churches and buildings damaged in the first quake crumbled to the ground as people joined those already camping out in blue tent camps set up in parks and school playgrounds after the last quake. Over 5,000 people were evacuated from their homes and emergency places for 4,000 homeless would be ready by nightfall, the Emilia Romagna region said.

“Last night was the first night we’d spent back in our homes after the first quake. Then another one hit,” one resident told SKY TG24 television in Sant’Agostino, scattered with buildings with gaping holes. A parish priest in the town of Rovereto di Novi was killed by a falling beam, reportedly after he went back into his church to save a Madonna statue. Several victims were workers crushed when factories collapsed, including Italian, Moroccan and Indian factory workers in San Felice del Panaro. “I’m grief-stricken, speechless. I have no tears left to shed…. Everything happened so fast, in about seven to eight seconds. I saw everything begin to crumble,” said a worker called Daniel, who had known the three victims. Dust filled the air in the picturesque towns of Carpi and Concordia, while in Mirandola rubble covered the Duomo floor and the roof gaped open to the sky. In Mantua, the Ducal Palace — famous for a stunning collection of frescoes in the Wedding Room — was damaged, along with a number of historic churches. Pope Benedict XVI sent his condolences to the families of the victims. Tuesday’s quake was felt throughout northern and central Italy, causing the collapse of houses and schools structures weakened by the quake nine days ago and sparking fresh fear among already jittery citizens.

In Pisa, home of the famous leaning tower, offices were evacuated as a precautionary measure. People ran out into the streets from shops and offices in Milan, Bologna and the Aosta Valley, close to the French border. There were moments of panic in Venice, where a statue fell to the ground, lightly injuring a passerby. Workers for Italian auto makers Ferrari, Ducati and Lamborghini were evacuated from their factories as a precautionary measure and all schools in the affected region were set to remain closed on Wednesday. Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti promised that “the state would do everything it must do as quickly as possible to guarantee the return of normal life in this important region of Italy.” Around 7,000 people who fled their homes in northeast Italy in the quake over a week ago are still living in around 89 tent camps erected in fields, sports fields, car parks and schools.

Event: Complex Emergency
Location: Canada Province of Quebec Montreal

Situation:

A pair of thunderstorms pounded the Montreal area on Tuesday, unleashing torrents of water that overwhelmed the city’s sewer system and caused widespread flooding of streets and buildings. The storms caused power failures, forced major buildings to be evacuated, flooded basements and vehicles, shut down a Metro line, closed schools and even lifted off several manhole covers. The water rose to nearly a metre deep in some streets. In at least two places, high water pressure in overwhelmed sewer pipes sent up geysers of storm water from the sewers. One geyser nearly flipped a car on Wolfe Street in the city’s Centre-Sud district. The other gusher, on St. André Street near St. Joseph Boulevard in the Plateau, rose up about two storeys. In LaSalle, firefighters had to rescue two people from their car after they were stranded in a flash flood on St. Patrick Street. In Verdun, several homeowners said their basements flooded — in one house, a resident reported that their toilets, bath tub and sinks had all gushed from backed-up water. And institutional buildings including the Grande Bibliothèque du Québec and Concordia University’s EV complex had to be evacuated. Environment Canada said 40 millimetres of rain fell during the morning thunderstorm, which began around 5 a.m. ET, and a further 50 to 80 mm hit within an hour beginning at 5 p.m. “To have that type of event two times in the same day, it was unusual,” Environment Canada meteorologist André Cantin said.

The torrential downpour also took a toll on Montreal’s public transit system. Flooding in a tunnel between the Champ de Mars and Square Victoria Metro stations shut down the orange line between Berri-UQAM and Lionel-Groulx for three hours, while the rest of the orange line was also shut down at points. The STM said Square Victoria station would remain closed until late Tuesday night. Commuter train service on the Saint-Hilaire line was delayed nearly half an hour at the end of rush hour because of water accumulation on level crossings. Video posted online showed water rushing onto the floor of a city bus, with seated passengers holding their feet up off the floor to avoid soaking their shoes.

Dawson College was evacuated because of water accumulation in the building. About 1,000 students were in the middle of writing exams when they were forced out of the school. The Riverside School Board on Montreal’s South Shore said three schools, all in St. Lambert, are cancelling classes on Wednesday due to flooding: Chambly Academy high school, St. Lambert elementary and the Alternate School. Eight schools in the Marie Victorin School Board in Longueuil will be closed for the day: the Herbier wing of Marie Victorin elementary, Bel Essor elementary, Lajeunesse elementary, de Normandie elementary, Armand Racicot elementary, Hubert Perron elementary, Hélène de Champlain high school and Saint Jean Baptiste high school. The English Montreal School Board said none of its schools is shutting down. The storm even affected the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, which said its collection of musical scores was hit by the water. It was not immediately known how much damage the music collection suffered.

Hydro-Québec said 28,000 customers lost power, half of those in Montreal. Power had been restored to 6,000 of those households by nightfall. Such heavy rainfalls are rare in the Montreal area, meteorologist Cantin said, occurring about once every five years. There were tornado warnings issued for some areas of the Montérégie region, including Huntingdon and Lacolle, but so far there are no reports of damage. The inclement weather was caused by humid air clashing with a cold front, triggering the heavy showers, thundershowers and high winds.
