An active wildfire in Sardinia’s Oristano area has triggered localized evacuations as of July 26 and the situation in Sardinia remains very critical. A state of emergency has been declared in Sardinia due to the fire. Further evacuations are possible in the coming days, especially if the fire continues to spread.
Road closures are likely in the Oristano area due to evacuation orders, reduced visibility, and firefighting activities associated with the wildfire. Charge battery-powered devices in the case of prolonged power outages. Seek updated information on road conditions if driving in affected areas; road closures and detours will cause increased congestion and delays.
