Risk of flood in Gschnitz: AT-Alert and civil protection alarm activated!
In the Tyrolean municipality of Gschnitz, which is located in the Innsbruck-Land district, a civil protection alarm and the AT-Alert warning system was triggered on the evening of June 30, 2025. This was due to the high dangers of muries and slope slips. According to OE24 there is also an acute risk of floods.
The authorities called on the population to stay in their houses. Special caution is recommended with regard to the use of underground garages and cellars that should not be entered during this critical phase. It is also advised to keep yourself away from the dams of the rivers to avoid possible dangers. Elmar Rizzoli, head of the Center for Crisis and Disaster management of the State of Tyrol, explained that the situation is continuously observed and that an active exchange with the operational organizations takes place.
alarm and warning system
The alarm in Gschnitz follows a report by ORF Tirol, which according to the late Monday afternoon a mure had already left. According to information from tirol.gv.at, the affected population was immediately informed by the federal warning system AT-alert. These warning measures are essential components of the prevention strategies of the authorities to ensure the safety of residents.
The disaster risk management plays an important role in such situations. According to [bmz.de] (https://www.bmz.de/de/themen/katastrophen risk combination/katastrophen risk management-background), extreme natural events, as are observed in Gschnitz, are not only important locally, but also have extensive structural, economic and social consequences. The majority of deaths in disasters are due to geophysical events, although the most damage caused by climate and weather-related events such as floods is caused. The loss of almost three trillion US dollars in affected countries shows the urgency of preventive measures.

Investments in disaster protection and preparatory measures can not only save lives, but also minimize economic losses.
