2020 Sancatha Flood

The Sancatha flood (alla Vulgari: U Inudazioni in Sancatha) occurred on 11 April 2020, in the city of Sancatha when 512 millimeters (20.2 in) of rain fell in a span of 24 hours. Seven people were killed, forty-three were injured and more than 320,000 residents were evacuated from their homes by the army and the police boats from three affected areas. Total damage was estimated at over 10 million EAS ($7.034 million) according to the Central Bureau of Statistics.

The Patriotic Drowned Schoolgirl
The Sancatha flood was popularized abroad after coverage from the national television revealed a 14-year-old schoolgirl among the casualties of the flood. Allegedly the girl drowned while trying to retrieve a portrait of Dictatrice Lasa Cinggingya from the flood. On 13 April 2020, Lasa Cinggingya ordered "the next day exempt from work" in silence and respect to the victims of the flood, and praised the patriotic deed of the girl. These news stired a public outcry from international organizations and most notably from Yongdo, the seat of the Congress of Nations, that once again condemned the Fascist Government of the Rashnna for its negligence and deplorable human rights. Outside observers also blamed the cult of personality around the Dictatrice, viewing the girl's death as a "direct consequence of indoctrination".

Northern Sancatha
The northern part of the municipality of Sancatha was dilapidated after the flood. The Limentra River overflowed for the first time in eleven years and created that were destructive for the infrastructure. Three highway bridges suffered from these landslides, with construction parts from the bridge cascading and being carried away with the slide. Residential areas were also affected and a total of seven buildings collapsed. Over 98,000 people in the northern suburbs and the rural areas beyond them were evacuated as officials feared an escalation in the magnitude of the landslides.

Central Sancatha
The disasters to the central, commercial areas of Sancatha accounted for the majority of the. The Piazza di Cinggingya, the public square constructed and named after the Dictatrice, features many underground passages to local businesses and restaurants, all of which were significantly after the incident. The local natural gas and electricity company, U Forza Currentica, was compromised and their customers lost power during the event. Over 220,000 people were evacuated to the proximate capital Tarquinia, while landslides on west-central Sancatha broke through a railroad under construction.

Southern Sancatha
Southern Sancatha is for the most part uninhabited and as a result very little residents were relocated. The Sancatha Dam was opened to relieve pressure from built-up floodwaters. The flooding also filled multiple major reservoirs to capacity which had been previously at low levels from the previous year's warm summer. It is expected that those reservoirs remain at above average levels and some of the water is intended to be used to replenish strained ground water levels. Lake Are received the most precipitation in 117 years of record-keeping, contributing to the fastest water level rise in the lake's history.

Accusations of Negligence
Information about the urgency with which the army and police forces reacted to the flood was leaked the same day from the Tosanchi Embassy. It is alleged that the rescue forces deliberately prioritized commercial areas over the residential counterparts, despite more calls for help being traced to the latter. One statement also mentioned of a story from a Tosanchi-descent resident that was rescued five hours after his call of emergency, despite a police center being in relative vicinity. Those allegations are denied by Rashnna officials and the later reportage of the national television, which both insist rescues were made in a timely manner.
