The Polish government is preparing for the first time to introduce a state of natural disaster in the areas in the south-west affected by the catastrophic flood. A state of natural disaster involves changing some of the rules of normal time.

Details: The draft of the Council of Ministers provides that the state of natural disaster will be in effect in all areas affected by the flood.
This will be the first case of the use of such a legal regime – in 1997 and 2010 it was not used.
In particular, in this case, the government and local authorities receive extended powers to respond to the situation.
Mandatory, not just recommended, evacuation and the introduction of a ban on staying or moving in certain places are also made possible.
The state of natural disaster allows private business to be obliged to delegate workers for work related to overcoming the consequences of a natural disaster.
This legal regime can be implemented for a maximum of 30 days.
We will remind:
- In the four affected voivodships, the educational process was suspended.
- In Poland, two people have already died as a result of the natural disaster, and in the Czech Republic, at least one person has died.
