Flood risk in Dresden: Which water levels are critical?

Dresden, Deutschland - Dresden is again in the area of tension between flood warnings! The Elbe, one of the largest rivers in Europe, recorded a water level of over 5.5 meters, which could already lead to flooding in the city. The terrace bank is particularly affected, which has to be closed almost every year when the water rises. The city is already mobilizing preventive measures to minimize damage, including the use of mobile flood scenes, which are activated from a level of 6.10 meters.

The flood risk is divided into four alarm levels. Saxony could currently get into alarm level 1, which means first flooding. City residents are called to find out about the current water levels and warnings in order to be able to react in time. For ongoing information on the floodplace in Dresden, the city offers a website with current updates, according to information from www.dnn.de .
