The Eastern Alps District Basin Authority said it had updated flood-management-plan maps for the municipalities of Dolo, Pianiga and Mirano. Secretary-General Decree No. 137 of 9 October updates maps showing water levels, hydraulic hazard and flood risk.

The notice was published in Italy’s Official Gazette on 17 October, when the update took effect. It does not specify how the mapped levels changed or identify affected parcels individually; the basin authority’s decree and map documents are the source for those details.
