**Floods: 42 municipalities in Austria declared disaster areas - Fire brigade at its limits!**
The recent storms have brought Austria into a state of emergency that is unprecedented. With 42 municipalities declared as disaster areas, the extent of destruction and suffering caused by the heavy rainfall is immeasurable.
In St. Pölten, one of the severely affected regions, firefighters have been pushed to their limits. With a record rainfall of 280 liters per square meter, they have been battling against the floods to rescue people trapped in homes and cars engulfed by the rushing waters. The firefighters, exhausted from the intense rescue operations, have received support from helicopters and water rescuers to manage the situation.
However, the effects of the storms extend beyond St. Pölten. In Styria, thousands of households are without electricity, while thousands of people across the country have been forced to evacuate their homes. In Krems, a reservoir threatens to overflow, putting the population on high alert. Flight cancellations, train delays, and road closures are disrupting transportation infrastructure and halting public life.
Even in the higher altitudes, Austria is grappling with the impacts of natural disasters. Avalanches have struck a hiking group in Tyrol, burying one person under the snow. Snowstorms and extreme weather conditions are further complicating rescue and relief efforts, presenting significant challenges to emergency responders.
The urgency of the situation and the extent of damages underscore the seriousness of the crisis facing Austria. Solidarity and cooperation among rescue teams and the population are crucial in these difficult times. It is vital to mobilize all available resources to aid the affected communities and bring the situation under control
