After a flood, people are left with nothing: Many do not have any elementary insurance
In addition, the majority of those affected often do not have any elementary insurance that would cover such damage.
But not because the insurance was too expensive for them, but “simply because no insurance company wanted to take the risk and insure these houses,” it says.
This is why Markt Uehlfeld is now asking for support: "Every donation, no matter how small, helps those affected!" You can also donate specifically to individual communities or specific families.
"For this purpose, please also state the respective community and / or the family for which you would like to donate in the purpose."
