A state of natural disaster is being introduced for 30 days to improve services and fight the consequences of flooding. “Only necessary” restrictions on rights and freedoms are provided for, including an evacuation order and a ban on staying in certain places.
According to Polsat News, after the government meeting, Tusk announced the allocation of one billion zlotys from the reserve for the needs of places and people affected by the flood.
“I convened this meeting in order to pass an order on the introduction of a state of natural disaster as soon as possible,” the politician emphasized.
According to him, a detailed list of districts and communes to which such a state applies will be provided in Wrocław.
“We have such a tool as an evacuation order in the decree on the state of natural disaster, but as I mentioned yesterday, we will (use it – ed.) only in a situation where there is a direct threat to human life,” Tusk explained. .
