Storm - Floods: Decision on Bundeswehr deployment still open
A decision on Bundeswehr assistance in the flood area in southern Saxony-Anhalt is to be made in the course of Wednesday. The district of Mansfeld-Südharz has asked for support from January 8th, said a Bundeswehr spokeswoman. A decision on this is to be made in the early afternoon.
According to district administrator André Schröder, around 400 helpers coordinated by the crisis team are currently on duty. There are also several hundred civilian volunteers. The towns of Kelbra, Berga, Martinsried, Roßla and Oberröblingen are affected by the flooding of the Helme. There is an evacuation recommendation for the village of Thürungen, said Schröder.

The current weather conditions in the flood zone are extremely challenging, with heavy rain and strong winds contributing to the flooding. The federal armed forces are closely monitoring the situation, considering the potential need for further intervention in light of the ongoing bad weather. The district of Mansfeld-Südharz, located in Germany's Saxony-Anhalt, has declared parts of it a Flood zone due to the unprecedented Floods. Unfortunately, these climate changes are causing more frequent and intense Floods across the region. André Schröder, the district administrator, has appealed to the German government, urging the deployment of federal armed forces to help mitigate the Flood's impact.
