Bad weather has affected Albania since the early hours of this morning, while the first problems have appeared in some areas.
As a result of the bad weather, there have been floods and landslides on several roads, while several mountainous areas in Dukagjin have been blocked, temporarily isolating residents.
The situation is more problematic on the Theth-Ndërlysa axis and in the Ndërlysa-Breg Lumi segment, where several villages remain isolated after the roads have become impassable.
Local authorities announce that the intervention of Shkodra municipality vehicles and Civil Emergency teams, which will also be joined by the Army Forces, is expected to unblock the roads and restore normal traffic for residents of the area. Meanwhile, the main Shkodra-Theth road is reported to be passable and without problems, as are the national axes and main roads throughout the Shkodra region.
In addition to the isolation of the villages, another concern remains the lack of electricity in many areas of the Vau Dejës municipality and in several other mountain villages where bad weather has caused network failures. The situation aggravated by the weather conditions is also accompanied by a serious incident during the night in the village of Preknicaj in Shkreli in Malësia e Madhe, where a two-story house was engulfed in flames at around 02:00. The house of citizen Zef Preknicaj was completely burned despite the intervention of firefighters, causing major material damage. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported. Preliminary investigations indicate that the cause of the fire is thought to have been a lightning strike, caused by increased electrical activity in the atmosphere over the last 24 hours.
The working groups of municipalities, Civil Emergencies, the Army, OSHEE and other structures are on full alert to manage any emergency situation that may arise. In the meantime, the authorities call on residents to avoid unnecessary movements, especially in the mountainous areas of the Shkodra region, until weather conditions improve.
