Humans influence the climate with their actions. And he decides where and how to build. That is also one of the reasons for the catastrophe at Seebach in Oberdorfen.


Humans influence the climate with their actions.

And he decides where and how to build.

That is also one of the reasons for the catastrophe at Seebach in Oberdorfen.

Dorfen

- One night of heavy continuous rain, and millions of euros in damage are already to be lamented.

The masses of water burst with force over the Am Seebach settlement in Oberdorfen.

Flood victims are now standing in front of their homes in despair and fear of their existence.

After the flood disaster in Erding and Dorfen: acute aid worked well

How much does the insurance company pay?

Does she even pay?

How quickly can damage be repaired?

When does a construction company have time?

One cannot even imagine the needs.

The only luck: damage to life and limb did not have to be complained about.

The acute care worked well.

The emergency services did their best, and even afterwards those affected experience a willingness to help.

Mayor Heinz Grundner faced the concerns and allegations of the flooded people.

You are asking for community support.

As a first step, a coordination office will be set up in the town hall.

Little enough.

But the question is what the city can do at all.

Preventing a new flood in Erding: what can the city do?

The fall of man was a long time ago.

The settlement was built at a low point in the floodplain of the Seebach.

Critical voices could not stop the designation of the building area.

This is the most violent example, but there are others.

The Erdinger Thermenhotel was flooded, the Taufkirchen soccer field is often a lake district.

It is greed for land.

Man takes nature without considering the forces of nature.

That would often have been too expensive - but much cheaper than the bill that is now on the table.

Without climate change, this problem might not be so serious.

The extreme weather year 2021 makes it clear, however, that climate protection is an important component in preventing such catastrophes in the future.
