Flash flood in Hallein, State of Salzburg, Austria
Natural disaster on July 17, 2021
On Saturday 17 July, it rained heavily in the Austrian region of Salzburg.
The result was high water levels in rivers and landslides.
The town of Hallein suffered the most, where the river overflowed its banks and water flows flooded most of the city.
Mayor Alexander Stangassinger called the incident a "disaster."
The local population was asked to stay in their homes, not to enter underground garages and basements, and stay away from river dams.
In the Burgfried district, temporary shelters were established at the school for those whose apartments and houses were damaged.
More than 200 firefighters fought against the elements, and help also came from other regions of the country.
Fortunately, no fatalities have been reported, but the damage is enormous.
