Munich - After the recent flood disaster in Bavaria, the cabinet will deal with the consequences on Tuesday (9 a.m.).

Some places in the Berchtesgadener Land were devastated with heavy rain * at the weekend after heavy storms.

In Passau, too, the worst had been expected.

However, the Danube and Inn did not rise as much as feared.

Storm in Bavaria: Söder promises flood victims quick help

It is now clear: The flood victims in the Free State are to receive 50 million euros in emergency aid.

"The federal government has already announced that it will make 300 million euros available, and today we will first provide 50 million euros for emergency aid," said the CSU chief to

Bayerischer Rundfunk

on Tuesday.

Private households should receive up to 5000 euros in emergency aid, said Söder to the radio station

Bayern 2.

If entire lives are affected, then there could be a 100 percent replacement.

That is similar to the flood disaster in Deggendorf in 2013.

The payout runs through the appropriate offices on site.

Storm in Bavaria - Söder: "State must help when it becomes existential"

Insurance is the basis for regulating the damage, said Söder.

However, people who have not insured their homes are also entitled to help - namely when the need is particularly great.

"My basic view as Prime Minister is that a state demands a lot from its citizens, but it also has to help when it becomes existential," said Söder.
