Story

On September 16, 2022, deadly flooding hit Italy's central Marche region. Severe weather wreaked havoc in and around Ancona, the region's capital, with extremely above average amounts of rain falling in the space of a few hours. Survivors climbed trees or rushed up to rooftops to await rescue. At least 10 people are dead, 50 are injured and 4 are still missing with hundreds of displaced. All donations to this fund will exclusively support local relief and recovery efforts.

Impact

We believe that organizations that are deeply rooted in local communities are in the best position to provide long-term support for survivors of natural disasters like these floods. By funding the relief efforts of local organizations, donations to this fund can build stronger response capacity so that these organizations are better equipped to face future challenges. GlobalGiving will post reports about how funds have been used and will email these reports to donors.

Challenge

While first responders help in the rescue and evacuation, community members shovel mud for hours and remove branches and other debris from the flooding that has severely damaged homes, shops and businesses. In addition to the tragic casualties, there is currently incalculable damages to livelihoods of affected communities. Italy's Council of Ministers approved a state of emergency for the Marche region.
