The Bavarian Red Cross is sending water rescuers from Lower Franconia to Swabia. The water rescue train is expected to be used in the particularly affected district of Günzburg. Several rivers and streams have reached the level of a so-called “flood of the century”.
For many hours, men and women from several fire & police departements, Red Cross, office of emergency, construction workers and volunteers who spontaneously shovel sandbags have been working tirelessly to avert the worst.
People have to be brought to safety, the St. Georg nursing home is evacuated, the Leipa paper factory is closed. Several homes and apartments are no longer accessible.
The Mühlried water level is currently unable to report any discharge; the value is frozen at 100 cubic meters per second - a dimension that has never been seen in Schrobenhausen. The water level is at an incredible 3.65 meters - that is about three times the normal value.
