Stricken location - Augsburg voices concerns over flood walkers.

Visitors mesmerized by floods are creating issues for emergency responders in the Augsburg region. Rescue workers are increasingly occupied with rescuing individuals who disregarded all cautionary measures and ventured onto dikes, into underpasses, and into or atop bodies of water, as per a statement made by the local governing body on Sunday night. To alleviate the undue strain on rescue teams, locals are urged to avoid navigating these areas. "The force of floodwaters is unpredictable and banks might collapse," cautioned the authority.

Motorists and foot traffic are both advised to avoid flooded roadways, along with flooded underpasses. Cover plates for manholes may be siphoned off by the pressure within the sewer system, potentially resulting in a suction effect that pulls people in.
