Threat to life due to floodwater
The rivers Enz, Nagold, and Wuerm in the Black Forest have been hit by heavy flooding due to snowmelt and relentless rain. This unfortunate event poses a significant risk to life, especially in the riverbank areas.
Authorities have taken immediate measures to ensure public safety. Riverbank areas have been declared off-limits to everyone, including dog owners who are advised to avoid riverbank walks during and after the flood.
In the event of an accident, it is crucial to call the emergency number 112 immediately. Do not hesitate to make the call, as every second counts in such situations. If an accident occurs, do not attempt to rescue someone who has fallen into the water. Instead, maintain telephone contact with the fire department and try to keep the victim in sight.
Parents are urged to talk to their children about the dangers of riverbanks. Being near the river is not considered a game for children, and the danger is particularly high for playing children. Unknown children on the riverbank should be approached and told to leave the danger zone. If children do not respond to warnings, the police should be informed via emergency number 110.
Authorities are also warning residents, visitors, and anyone present at the location potentially at risk from the flooding. They are using the emergency number 110 to alert those endangered by hazards. However, the search results do not specify particular groups at this location requiring the 110 emergency warning.
In addition, there is a risk of subsidence and collapse in riverbank areas. Alternative paths should be found instead of the riverbank to ensure safety.
Provide the arriving rescuers with an accurate location description to aid in their efforts. If you come across anyone at the riverbank near the flood site in the Schwarzer Forst area, please warn them to leave the area as soon as possible.
Stay safe and heed the warnings issued by the authorities. Let's work together to ensure everyone's safety during these challenging times.
