32 years after the November 1994 flood, the Municipality of Alba is promoting a conference to preserve the memory of the nine victims and spread a culture of prevention, safety and protection of the territory. The meeting, scheduled for Thursday 5 November 2026 from 9:30 at the Teatro Sociale "G. Busca", focuses on the relationship between climate change, civil protection and territory: institutional competences, emergency management, planning and hydrogeological instability, with speeches by experts, technicians and representatives of institutions. The day ends at 18:00 with the commemorative procession starting from the Town Hall and arriving at the Tanaro river, where a wreath is thrown in memory of the flood victims.
