Povodňový apel českého ministerstva zahraničních věcíVelvyslanectví ČR v Londýně nám zaslalo tento apel českého ministerstva zahraničních věcí. Doporučuje, aby lidé necestovali do Prahy. Hraniční přechody mezi ČR, Německem a Rakouskem jsou většinou uzavřeny. Zatopena není jen Praha, ale obrovské plochy po celé České republice. Historický Český Krumlov je pod vodou, ohrožena jsou průmyslová města podél Labe, 13 lidí zahynulo a 200 000 osob bylo evakuováno. Apel MZV uvádí, kam mohou lidé přispět.

Floods in the Czech Republic - AppealDue to the heavy floods, the Czech Government has declared a State of Emergency and emergency services and the army are fully engaged in dealing with the crisis.The Czech authorities are advising that those currently outside Prague should not attempt to travel into the city. Therefore tourists planning to visit Prague or some other affected regions of the country are not advised for the time being to do so, unless their travel is absolutely essential. Most of the border crossings to Austria and Germany are currently closed. Railway and motorway networks are partially disrupted as well. The floods are not only concentrated in the historic part of Prague but vast parts of the Czech Republic are under water. Apart from the heart of Prague large districts "off the tourist track" are flooded. The disaster area includes Central, Southern, West and North Bohemia as well as Southern Moravia. A very important UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site outside Prague is also a victim of floods. The medieval town of Český Krumlov is completely under water. Industrial towns along the river Labe (Elbe) and Vltava are in danger. Flooded are chemical and pharmaceutical plants. The floods have cost already 13 lives. Material costs are at the moment hard to estimate but will be enormous. Over 200 000 people have been evacuated and the number will rise because in many areas the rivers have not reached the culmination point. The Czech Republic needs help. The International aid is coordinated by the Central Crises Committee through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the help of the respective Czech Embassies abroad. All offers of help from the UK, especially needed are suction and puddle pumps and dehumidifiers and chlorine based disinfectants (transport arranged by the Czech Airlines), should be faxed to the Embassy on: 020 77279654. Needed is also heavy machinery. If people wish to contribute to the disaster fund, they should make the cheque payable to:
CZECH FLOOD RELIEF or payments by credit slip are accepted in any branch of Barclays Bank quoting the account details:
