Call of help of the municipalities after the century flood in Lower Austria

In an urgent reaction to the devastating flood damage that arose in Lower Austria in September 2024, the Lower Austrian Federal Councilor Bernadette Geieregger, Margit Göll and Sandra Böhmwalder have announced measures to support the affected communities. According to nön.at , the residents of around 150 are also affected by two farms, since they reach their houses via detours must. The damage in St. Veit required an urgency application for the new construction of the Köckbrücke, the costs of which are estimated at around 1.5 million euros - a sum that the municipality alone cannot be borne.

The political representatives emphasize the need to see affected municipalities supported in the crisis. Federal Councilor Böhmwalder underlined the importance of unbureaucratic help and common solidarity, while the local politicians in St. Veit urge the state government to support more support. The cooperation between the federal and state governments is crucial to find quick solutions for the injured party and to ensure future disaster prevention.
