FLOOD IN CZECH REPUBLIC 2013

Triggering memories of the 2002 floods that ravaged the country, the European floods of 2013 have caused considerable damage in the Czech Republic during late May and early June. As of June 4, eight people have died due to the raging waters while five are missing. The cost of the damage exceeds a billion Czech crowns. More than 1,000 members of the Czech Army have helped construct flood barriers. Seven regions have been classified as state of emergencies.
