weather disturbance engulfs area with destructive force - Council districts seeking faster growth in enhancing flood defenses
The flood-stricken region has seen major improvements since 2013, but officials have declared the need for reinforcing a 13-kilometer stretch with sandbags, according to Sibler.
Regarding the HQ100 project in the Deggendorf-Vilshofen area, the necessary approvals have been made, and passing the decision to the Federal Transport Ministry is expected to happen by the end of the year. After that, construction work should take around seven years. "We're thrilled that we managed to get the situation under control, but it requires patience and resources," said Sibler, emphasizing the need for faster planning.
The flood protection measures put in place in the Passau district have worked wonderfully, as the area didn't necessitate a disaster declaration. This highlights the importance of closing the remaining gaps. Sibler also mentioned that any potential developments on polder lands could prove beneficial.
