Ukukhumbula UZamcolo Omkhulu ka-1994: Isikhathi Sokuchithwa Kwamanzi Ekuphenduleni Okuphuthumayo
Ukubheka Emuva Esimeni Esiphuthumayo Se-Hydrological Esivivinya Ukuvikelwa Komphakathi Okusanda Kusungulwa Kwase-Italy kanye Neqhaza Lamavolontiya Ekuphenduleni Inhlekelele
Umhla ziyisi-6 kuLwezi, 1994, usamile enkumbulweni ehlangene yase-Italy, okuwubufakazi bokuqina nobumbano kwezwe. Ngalolu suku, isifunda sase-Piemonte sibhekane nezikhukhula eziyinhlekelele kakhulu emlandweni waso, isigameko esiphawule ukuhlolwa kokuqala okubalulekile kwesimanjemanje. Ukuvikelwa komphakathi, eyasungulwa eminyakeni emibili nje edlule. Uzamcolo ka-94 wawungeyona nje inhlekelele engokwemvelo; kwaba yinguquko yokuthi i-Italy yasondelana kanjani nabaphathi bezimo eziphuthumayo kanye nokuxhumana kwamavolontiya.
Imvula engapheli yaqala ukunisa ingxenye esenyakatho-ntshonalanga ye-Italy, yakhukhula imifula yaze yabhodloka, yabhodloza imifula namadolobha acwila emanzini. Izithombe zemizi ecwile ngaphansi kwamanzi, imigwaqo yaphenduka imifula, futhi abantu beyiswa endaweni ephephile ngendiza yaba uphawu lwesifunda esivinjezelwe amandla emvelo. Umonakalo awugcinanga kwingqalasizinda kuphela kodwa nasezinhliziyweni zemiphakathi esele icosha izimpilo zayo ezicekeleke phansi.
I-Civil Protection, ngaleso sikhathi eyayisesigabeni sayo esafufusa, yaqhutshwa yagqama, yanikezwa umsebenzi wokuxhumanisa impendulo esimeni esiphuthumayo sezinga elingakaze liphathwe yile nhlangano esanda kwakhiwa. I-ejensi, eyakhiwa ngo-1992 ngemva kwenhlekelele yase-Vajont Dam yango-1963 kanye nesomiso esibi sika-1988-1990, yaklanywa ukuba ibe umgwamanda ohlanganisayo wokuphatha izici ezihlukahlukene zezimo eziphuthumayo, kusukela ekubikezelweni nasekuvimbeleni kuya ekusizeni nasekulungiseni isimo.
Njengoba imifula igudla usebe lwayo, i-Civil Protection's mettle yahlolwa. Impendulo yayishesha futhi inezici eziningi. Amavolontiya avela ezweni lonke atheleke esifundeni, enza umgogodla wempendulo yezimo eziphuthumayo. Basebenzisana ngokubambisana nabasebenzi abasemthethweni bezinsizakalo zokuhlenga, behlinzeka ngosizo olubalulekile ekuphumeni, Insiza yezimo eziphuthumayo, kanye nemisebenzi yokuhlela. Umoya wokuzithandela, ogxile ngokujulile esikweni lase-Italy, wakhanya ngokugqamile njengoba abantu abavela kuzo zonke izizinda zokuphila befaka isandla emizamweni yokusiza, isiko elisaqhubeka nanamuhla, njengoba kubonakala ezikhukhuleni zakamuva eToscana.
Umphumela walesi sikhukhula ulethe ukucwaninga okujulile ekuphathweni komhlaba, izinqubomgomo zemvelo, kanye neqhaza lezinhlelo zokuxwayisa kusenesikhathi ekunciphiseni izinhlekelele. Kwafundwa izifundo ngesidingo sengqalasizinda eqinile, izinyathelo zokulungela kangcono, kanye neqhaza elibalulekile lokuqwashisa umphakathi ekwehliseni izingozi ezihlobene nalezi zinhlekelele.
Cishe sekudlule iminyaka engamashumi amathathu kusukela ngalolo suku olubi lukaNovemba, futhi izibazi zikazamcolo sezipholile, kodwa izinkumbulo zisekhona. Zisebenza njengesikhumbuzo samandla emvelo kanye nomoya ongenakunqotshwa wemiphakathi evukayo, kaningi, ukuze yakhe kabusha futhi ibuyisele. I-alluvione ePiemonte yayingaphezu nje kwenhlekelele yemvelo; kwaba okuhlangenwe nakho okwakhayo kwe-Civil Protection yase-Italy kanye nokubizelwa kwezikhali kumaqhawe angaculwanga: amavolontiya.
Namuhla, i-Civil Protection yesimanje imile njengomunye wezinhlelo ezithuthuke kakhulu emhlabeni zokubhekana nezimo eziphuthumayo, nezimpande zayo zilandela emuva ezinsukwini eziyinselele kodwa eziguqulayo zesikhukhula sika-1994. Iwuhlelo olwakhelwe phezu kwesisekelo sobumbano kanye nesibopho sokwabelana, izindinganiso ezaboniswa ngezikhathi ezimnyama kakhulu zesikhukhula futhi ziqhubeka ziyizimiso eziyisiqondiso lapho kubhekene nobunzima.
Indaba kazamcolo wasePiemonte ka-1994 ayigcini nje ngokulahlekelwa nokubhujiswa. Kuyindaba yokuqina komuntu, amandla omphakathi, kanye nokuzalwa kwendlela eyinkimbinkimbi yokuphatha izimo eziphuthumayo e-Italy-indlela eqhubekayo yokusindisa izimpilo nokuvikela imiphakathi ezweni lonke nangale kwayo.
