Vjosa at critical point, fears of flooding in Novosela
Vjosa River

The situation in Novoselo became critical on Wednesday afternoon, after the Vjosa River reached a level of 8 meters, an alarm threshold that warns of a real risk of flooding. Local and central authorities have activated emergency plans and placed all terrain structures on alert.

Residents have been urged to exercise maximum caution and avoid moving near the riverbanks. "The coming hours will be difficult. The situation is being monitored intensively and we are committed to ensuring the safety of the community," said representatives of civil emergencies in Vlora.

In addition to Novosela, other areas in the south such as Fitore, Ferras, Poro and Mifol are under increased surveillance, as high water flows are endangering embankments and agricultural lands. According to data from IGJEUM, continuous rainfall in recent days has led to the swelling of rivers in several regions, especially in Gjirokastër, Vlorë and Fier.

Local structures have begun checking weak points in the embankments and logistical means have been made available for evacuation in case of need. Schools and public institutions have been notified to be on alert, while administrative units ask citizens to follow only official instructions and report any problems.
