Disaster Relief----Providing shelter, food and water to help people during the worst floods.
Italy----the two fatalities were a 53-year-old firefighter in the Aosta Valley who died during a rescue operation, and a 36-year-old man whose car was swept into a river in the Piedmont region. A section of a key bridge over the Sesia river in Piedmont's Vercelli province collapsed shortly after it had been reopened on Saturday afternoon. In the rest of Piedmont, several villages were cut off after the rains made roads impassable. The situation there was extremely critical. The storm also affected the north-western regions of Lombardy and Liguria. The Roja river in Ventimiglia has also flooded. Eric Ciotti, a member of the French parliament who is from one of the worst affected villages in the area, Saint-Martin-Vésubie, said several villages were cut off as they are located in steep-sided valleys of the mountainous region.
