After the flood disaster in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate, the willingness to help is great - also in the Freising district.
The Moosburg aid organization Navis is on its way to the Eifel.
District
- A call for help from Adenau in the Ahrweiler district in Rhineland-Palatinate reached Navis chairman Wolfgang Wagner on Saturday afternoon.
In the city, after the flood disaster, it is currently not possible to supply the population with water.
Therefore, Navis should use his technology to build a water supply, treat water and fill the district's elevated tanks.

Wagner immediately set about informing the Navis members on Saturday. And it didn't take long before an eleven-person team was established, which, under the team leadership of Tobias Venus (on site) and overall manager Stephan Zobel, will drive to the crisis area for a week. Navis members have, among other things, four drinking water treatment systems with them (two of them with an output of 5000 liters per hour), various emergency power generators, tents and 200 containers of ten liters each for the transport of drinking water on site.
The district fire brigades also support the project.
On Sunday morning, 16 portable pumps, 15 submersible pumps, 365 B-hoses (for a length of 7.3 kilometers) and power generators were delivered by 37 fire brigades.
District fire chief Manfred Danner, who had come to the Navis camp in Moosburg that afternoon, was correspondingly proud.
District Administrator Helmut Petz and Moosburg's Vice-Mayor Georg Hadersdorfer were also there to get an idea of the preparations and to officially say goodbye to the team.

District Administrator Petz spoke of an "environmental disaster of unimagined proportions" with a view to the crisis areas.
He knows that people “need our help” and wished all volunteers “all the best and God's blessings”.
Georg Hadersdorfer was “happy and proud” to have an aid organization like Navis on site.
He hopes that the emergency services can "alleviate suffering" and contribute to "keeping the people going".

After the flood disaster in Deggendorf in 2013, this is - in addition to the many foreign assignments - already the second domestic assignment. For the time being, a team should familiarize people on site with the Navis devices for a week, as Navis boss Wagner explained. He announced that the crew could be swapped three times - so many volunteers had volunteered. With the travel blessing from Pastoral Advisor Annemarie Fleischmann and Protestant Pastor Regine Weller, the members set off on Sunday afternoon with a Heinz truck into the crisis area.
Meanwhile, the rescue team of the water rescue team returned from their assignment in North Rhine-Westphalia late on Saturday evening.
The BRK's water rescue train had driven around 600 kilometers because several dams threatened to break in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Then the rescuers' special knowledge and the material carried would have been used.
But because all the locks had held, so BRK district manager Albert Söhl when asked, the six water watch members from the district as well as the colleagues from Fürstenfeldbruck and Dachau returned without any action.
Late on Saturday evening, the water watchmen were alerted to a search for missing persons.
