Silge avalanche in Rittmitz: residents demand better flood protection!
In the past few days, a tense situation has developed in Rittmitz, Kattnitz and Kiebitz. The residents are preparing for impending rains that could rinse sludge from the fields again on the streets. The fire brigade moved out on Tuesday afternoon to clean the streets that have become impossible through the mud. According to sächsische.de the local army manager Denny Thomas was active and alarmed by Ostrau and Rittmitz.
This is the second mud avalanche this year, which meets the region. The Teichstraße, also known as the "Schleifenberg", and the intersection to the Flachsmühlenweg are particularly affected. A whopping 18 liters of rainwater fell within just 15 minutes, which promoted the rivulet on mud and water. Just a month earlier, on June 15, 45 liters caused similar problems within half an hour.
common solutions required
In a recent council meeting, concerned Rittmitzer citizens expressed their concerns about flood protection. Together they want to develop solutions in order to better protect themselves from the consequences of extreme weather events. Because long -term measures are urgently necessary to also protect the subsequent villages. A tour of the tour is planned for mid -August to explore the conditions on site.
The district office in Central Saxony plays an important role in this discussion, since the Teichstrasse is considered a district road. The situation is critical that there is only a gully that was also not sufficiently cleaned. Nine firefighters were on duty to make the streets accessible again. The mission was headed by Björn Simniok, the second deputy community leader of Jahnatal.
short -term and long -term measures
Following the early warning messages, employees of the building yard also worked on cleaning the Feldhäuser Street in Kiebitz. In the event of a previous heavy button, about 15 centimeters mud had accumulated. In timely protective measures, a lapwill ensured that her property was less affected. The mayor of Kiebitz, Franziska Dinor, praised the quick reaction of the building yard and thus underlines the need for a well -organized crisis reaction. In view of these recurring flood events,The question arises how the municipalities can better protect their citizens and real assets. According to [Federal Center for Political Education] (https://www.bpb.de/themen/umwelt/hochwasserchutz/166131/nachthaltigigen- Hochwasservororge/), all components of the flood risk-danger, exposure and sensitivity-must be taken into account. Effective flood prevention requires both technical and natural flood protection. Around 530 million euros were invested in technical flood protection in Saxony between 2002 and 2012.
In order to achieve a permanent improvement, not only government measures are required, but also private provision of citizens. Since fully protection against floods is not possible, returns and individual measures are considered crucial. A discussion about the responsibility and cost distribution between the state and citizens in flood areas is therefore essential, as is the Federal Environment Ministry.
