Summary
[edit]DescriptionDevasting floods hit Slovenia.jpg |
English: Slovenia is reeling from the worst-ever natural disaster in its history. Devastating floods struck the country in early August 2023, resulting in at least four casualties and widespread damage estimated at over half a billion euro. The floods caused multiple bridges to collapse and significantly impacted road and energy infrastructure. This Copernicus Sentinel-1 radar image from 5 August shows the flooded areas south of Maribor, a city in the northeast of Slovenia. The extent of the damage is evident in the image. In response to the floods, the EU Civil Protection Mechanism has been activated, prompting assistance from several Member States to support Slovenia's emergency response efforts. Additionally, the Rapid Mapping module of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service has produced detailed delineation and grading maps of the affected areas. For more information, click here. |
