German border city prepares for flood DW 09/20/2024
Briefly

"The wide, brown River Oder that marks Germany's border to Poland looks like it's bulging dangerously and sweeping along with alarming speed, branches and bushes floating in it."
"Official prognoses predict that the Oder will reach 420 centimeters (or Alarm Level I) on Friday, and 530 centimeters (Alarm Level III) as soon as Saturday."
"Though emergency shelters have been organized, authorities don't believe they will have to carry out any evacuations this time."
"The 1997 floods led Frankfurt and Slubice to bulk up flood prevention measures, and the twin towns are now comparatively well-prepared."
