The Crisis Management Center (CMC) announced today that numerous reports of significant flooding and widespread infrastructure disruption have been received following a recent storm that impacted the City of Skopje and its surrounding areas. The primary concern detailed in the reports involves residential properties, where flooding has affected buildings, basements, and garages, alongside numerous streets. This has resulted in difficult mobility across several parts of the city.
The CMC specified several critical zones requiring attention, naming Kisella Voda, Gazi Baba, Buteli, Çairi, and the Aerodrome as areas of particular concern. Authorities stated that the situation remains under continuous monitoring, and intervention teams are actively deploying resources based on assessed risk levels and operational priorities. Complementing the on-the-ground assessments, the Central Meteorological Center issued a statistical overview confirming that two underpasses were submerged as a direct consequence of the heavy storm system.
The influx of reports underscores the scale of the disruption to local infrastructure. Emergency services are coordinating efforts to manage the fallout from the intense weather event. The focus remains on mitigating further damage, restoring essential services, and ensuring public safety amid the ongoing challenges posed by the widespread flooding.
Authorities urge residents to remain aware of local advisories as cleanup and recovery operations continue across affected neighborhoods.
