“I think that we have learnt a lot from the floods of 2002 and 2013. We have of course also made all the necessary investments. I’m thinking of flood protection, where numerous projects have been implemented and of course also in the whole area of data analysis,” said Johanna Mikl-Leitner, the regional governor of Lower Austria.

However the situation can get worse and will impact the Europe as no part of the world is save from consequences of Climate Catastrophe.
