While waters were receding in many areas, others were nervously waiting for rivers to burst their banks.<\/p>\n<p>Areas along the Czech-Polish border were among the worst-hit since the weekend, as gushing, debris-filled rivers devastated historic towns, collapsing bridges and destroying houses. Flooding has killed seven people in Romania, where waters have receded since the weekend. Seven were dead in Poland, five in Austria, and three in the Czech Republic. Tens of thousands of Czech and Polish households remained without power or fresh water.<\/p>\n<p>Wroclaw, Poland&#8217;s third-largest city, prepared for peaking water along the Oder and Bystrzyca rivers. Authorities in the Katy Wroclawskie district, southwest of Wroclaw, recommended that residents of several of the district&#8217;s municipalities evacuate. In a northern suburb, 44-year-old IT programmer Michal Nakiewicz was among dozens of volunteers helping emergency services pile up sandbags on the bank of the Bystrzyca.&#8221;I saw that both parents and children were helping to pour sand. I even saw 5-, 6-year olds, so quite a gathering,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Every pair of hands helps.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wroclaw zoo called for volunteers to help pack sandbags to protect animal enclosures, while employees and volunteers began to move some of the 450,000 books from the city&#8217;s main church archive to higher floors of the Archdiocesan Archives building.In Lewin Brzeski, around 60 km (37 miles) south of Wroclaw, flood waters had already arrived and continued to rise.<\/p>\n<p>Residents waded through waist-high water in some places, while emergency services boats moved others to safety through flooded streets. Marek Karas, 63, said the authorities should have done more to protect the area since a severe deluge in 1997. &#8220;In 27 years they haven&#8217;t done much in this section.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said coming days would be critical. &#8220;These are the most important ones ahead of us, you know, the most important two, three days,&#8221; Tusk said during a meeting of the flood crisis team in Wroclaw. He also said that the government at the moment had 2 billion zlotys ($520 million) available for its efforts<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/poland-fortifies-towns-deadly-floods-afflict-central-europe-2024-09-17\/\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source:<a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/poland-fortifies-towns-deadly-floods-afflict-central-europe-2024-09-17\/\"> Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/central-european-floods-leave-trail-of-devastation-new-areas-to-evacuate\/\">Central European floods leave trail of devastation; new areas to evacuate<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[16141,10954,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-133798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-central-europe","tag-floods","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133798","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133798"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133798\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133798"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133798"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
