Summary[edit]

Description
English: Disastrous floods struck the Marche region of central Italy on the afternoon of 16 September. In just under 12 hours, more than 420 mm of rain have been recorded, the equivalent of six months of rain. The disaster has caused a total of eleven fatalities, while an eight year-old child is still missing. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 18 September, shows the plume of sediment that poured into the Adriatic Sea as a result of the floods. The sediments, carried into the sea by the rivers were transported by wind and marine currents, and spread all along the Adriatic coast of Italy, painting the waters in shades of light brown and blue. The Copernicus Emergency Management Service Rapid Mapping team has been activated by the Italian Civil Protection. More detail is available here.
