Update from July 20, 12:35 p.m.:
The residents in eight districts particularly affected by the flood receive up to 50 million euros in emergency aid from the state government. "The Bavarian state government will not let anyone down who has got into an emergency due to floods," said State Chancellor Florian Herrmann on Tuesday after a cabinet meeting in Munich. The state must stand up for the people in such situations.
In the meantime, the situation in Bavaria could be said to be easing, he said. In order to improve the advance warning of people in the future, more sirens should be used again when alerting the population. If it has to be "very, very fast", there are situations in which warning apps are too imprecise and too vague.
However, the cabinet limited the regions entitled to the aid payments to the eight districts of Fürth, Kitzingen, Schweinfurt, Hof, Berchtesgadener Land, Ansbach, Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim and Erlangen-Höchstadt.
How high the damage will actually be in the end cannot be foreseen at the moment.
