Climate change and high exposure increased costs and disruption to lives and livelihoods from flooding associated with exceptionally heavy rainfall in Central Europe

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

From the 12th to the 15th (and ongoing in some regions) of September 2024 a very large region in Central Europe, including Poland, Czechia, Austria, Romania, Hungary, Germany and Slovakia experienced very heavy rainfall, breaking local and national rainfall records over the period of four days. While the rain was extremely heavy in many locations, the exceptional extent of the event, stretching across many countries, covered a far larger area than previous devastating floods in 1997 and 2002 [Řezáčová et al., 2005]. The extreme rainfall led to flooding in all affected countries with severe consequences for lives and livelihoods. At least 24 people lost their lives (The Guardian, 2024; BNN, 2024) with several persons still missing several days after the event in Czechia DW, 2024). All countries were affected by power cuts, leading to schools and factories closing as well as hospitals. In Austria and Poland several dams and in Czechia stable flood protection measures (dams around the Oder River in Ostrava) broke, causing severe and sudden flooding. Two bridges were washed away in Poland, and thousands of homes and public buildings damaged in Romania.
