Flooding caused by heavy rain continues to batter central Europe, resulting in one death in Poland and thousands of evacuations across the Czech Republic. A firefighter died in Austria while battling the floods, declared a disaster area.
One person drowned in southwest Poland and thousands were evacuated across the border in the Czech Republic after heavy rain continued to batter central Europe on Sunday, causing flooding in several parts of the region. A firefighter tackling flooding in Lower Austria was also killed, Austria n Vice Chancellor Werner Kogler said on Sunday on social platform X as authorities declared the province which surrounds Vienna a disaster area.
“The situation is very dramatic,” Tusk told reporters on Sunday after a meeting in Klodzko town, which was partly under water as the local river rose to 665 cm on Sunday morning, well above the alarm level of 240. That surpassed a record seen in heavy flooding in 1997, which partly damaged the town and claimed 56 lives in Poland.
