The images and footage in the media are terrible. It feels very close, because the rubble isn’t from the 1940s, nor are the scenes from the 1960s, and we are all, in a way, neighbors.

There are certainly some among us who are currently worried about their homes, properties, or even their lives. Whether it’s a new or old house, an apartment, a place they call home, or their family… I wish them strength, courage, and good luck—that you all get through this safely.

I’m at a loss for words. Every hour brings more terrible news… 🙁

But is that really what you want?
Or which insurance company would still cover you if you rebuild your house there right away?

In my opinion, the damage can be repaired quickly. It is only a matter of money. However, the suffering of those affected remains.

The damage will not be repaired quickly. Roads, utilities (gas, water, electricity, telephone, etc.), bridges, soil, and more are missing. In some cases, it may no longer be possible or advisable to build there.

Since the infrastructure has been severely damaged and towns are practically cut off, cleanup efforts will not be able to start anytime soon.

The really bad thing is that there are currently no available capacities to quickly rebuild entire regions. On top of that, there is the shortage of building materials. This is truly the worst-case scenario to the power of three.

All infrastructure is simply gone.
I just can’t imagine it at all! Roads collapsing, cliffs everywhere, and washed-away soil…
Now it’s happening in southern Germany.
People are losing their livelihoods due to flooding.
Here, we have the best summer and holiday/recreational weather…
