Update from July 18, 4.10 p.m.:
Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder spoke about the impressions from the flood area after an on-site visit in Berchtesgadener Land. A first pleasure is almost that nobody was "injured in life and limb", said Söder in Schönau. Bavaria has already experienced a number of flood events, but the experience is always "equally bad and freshly moving": "Water is enormous and mud destroys everything - that is always underestimated."
Söder also announced decisive steps against climate change.
It is necessary to "rather accelerate" the pace.
The aim is to accelerate adaptation measures and "at the same time massively promote protection".
In the end it will show that the costs of non-trading are greater than those of trading.
