Severe weather, marked by heavy rainfall, has wreaked havoc across Slovenia, impacting the western, northern, eastern, and central regions of the country. The torrential downpours have resulted in severe flooding and landslides, rendering some areas inaccessible. Consequently, authorities have commenced mandatory evacuations to ensure the safety of residents.
In response to the escalating situation, the Slovenian Environment Agency (ARSO) has issued a red weather alert, signaling an imminent threat. As part of their emergency preparedness, the national response plan for floods was activated on August 4.
With more rain and floods expected, the nation braces for further challenges. However, there is a glimmer of hope as ARSO predicts an improvement in the weather conditions from tomorrow afternoon, August 5.
Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely and urge citizens in affected regions to remain vigilant, follow evacuation orders, and stay informed about updates from local authorities.
The country's emergency response teams are working tirelessly to rescue and assist those affected by the disaster, and the international community stands ready to offer support if needed.
