People are being advised to limit their travel to northern Italy amid devastating floods that have killed at least 14 people and forced 36,000 to evacuate their homes.

At the beginning of this week, the Emilia-Romagna region received 6 months of rainfall in 36 hours. Many rivers overflowed their banks, flooding entire cities and making some villages completely inaccessible. Despite the fact that thousands of volunteers have begun cleanup, the region remains “red” danger level.

"Apocalyptic" floods and landslides have also caused havoc in Croatia, Bosnia and Slovenia. Climate-related natural disasters are on the rise in Southern Europe, experts warn.

In the region's capital, Bologna, the tourist board has urged citizens to limit their travel to essential travel.
