The violent storms over Carinthia do not abate! Meanwhile, the civil defense alarm for the assembly community had to be activated and the civil defense warning signal also sounded in Arriach at about 5:30 am. There is a danger to life!
The districts of Villach and Villach-Land were particularly hard hit. “Some communities in the area are no longer accessible by road!”, the LAWZ reports. Landslides, floods and hail make roads and paths impassable and trees have fallen. Now the military has to leave to help people trapped in those communities. “People are being asked not to leave their homes and to stay on the first floor if possible!” The danger of mudslides and swirling streams is too great!
Civil protection warning in Arriach
Also in Arriach, a civil protection warning had to be activated, because this community is also cut off from the surrounding area. “All the emergency services we have are on their way. Unfortunately, the paths to these communities are blocked!”, the LAWZ said. Also affected are Afritz, the Gorge, Winklern and the Wasteland. Turracher Strasse and Millstätter Strasse are closed in certain sections.
A crisis management team has now been set up to bring the situation under control and the army has been informed. Because there is a risk of “mortal danger”!
