Severe Weather Conditions Unleashed: Hurricane Wreaks Havoc - More dams at risk of collapsing in Swabia region
In the Swabian region, additional dam breaks are anticipated as a result of the devastating flooding. Residents in the districts of Heißesheim and Auchsesheim were instructed to evacuate once more on Monday due to the potential collapse of these structures. The district office in Donauwörth stated, "The possibility of flooding the entire settlement region must be considered." Emergency shelters have been established to accommodate those who were forced to leave their homes. Those who previously evacuated should not anticipate any further alerts.
In the district, there are currently no assurances regarding the safety of the water supply due to the flood. Some drinking water wells have been impacted, prompting the district administration to advise residents in Mertingen, Oberndorf, and other communities to boil their water prior to consumption.
