Flooding in the northern Emilia-Romagna region killed more than a dozen people and displaced about 10,000 others last week, Ansa news agency reported. Rescue workers have been working to reach dozens of villages and farms cut off by the deluge, with some 20,000 people losing access to power.

The terminals, which provide web services beamed down from satellites, will help rescue workers and providers of essential services, as well as flood victims, to access the internet, Unipol said, adding that SpaceX will align some of its satellites to concentrate on the stricken zone.
