The situation will remain difficult throughout the week in Eastern Central Europe, as the flood progresses in rivers to new areas.
The death toll in the floods in Central Europe has risen to eight. In addition, four people are missing.
Floods have affected several countries in Eastern Central Europe. The situation has been serious over the weekend in Italy, the Czech Republic, Poland and Romania.
Slovakia and Hungary are preparing for a worsening of the situation there, as the waters in the rivers that cross the region advance and rise.
In the Czech Republic, the worst possible flood warning is in effect in about a hundred locations, but the situation is worst in the northeastern part of the country near the Polish border. In the Czech Republic, four people who fell into the water are missing.
For example, in the city of Opava, 10,000 people have been evacuated. Rescue operations have had to be carried out from boats when the water has risen in the Opava river.
In Austria, a firefighter died while pumping water out of a flooded basement. The entire state of Lower Austria has been declared a disaster area. The capital Vienna is also located in the state, where the water of the Danube canal overflowed over the weekend.
At least six people have died in Romania. In Poland, one person is believed to have died.
