After the flood in 2013, extensive flood protection measures have become necessary in the greater Schärding area. Due to the location at the entrance to the Vornbacher Enge am Inn and in the area of Pram on the Austrian side and Rott on the Bavarian side, there are in the greater Schärding at least every 2 to 3 years, a mean or greater flood, by the forces of the fire brigades Greater Schärding requires a coordinated approach. In order to be able to act effectively when needed, a so-called disaster protection camp will be built at the Schärding site, which will include a storage area for the mobile flood protection elements of the core city of Schärding, accommodation for disaster control facilities such as motorboats, deployment chutes and big bags, and a sandbag warehouse with a pool ready-filled sandbags for rapid deployment and a base for sandbag filling in extreme floods. Currently, sandbag stores are spread over several locations. In Bavaria, the nearest sandbag filling station is located in Ortenburg 30 kilometers away. For this reason, the fire brigades of the communities Schärding, Neuhaus, St. Florian and Brunnenthal have agreed to set up a common sandbag storage at the new site in the disaster control camp, which brings enormous benefits in flood situations. The common infrastructure also requires a jointly coordinated alarm and operational plan. Thus, an efficient cross-border and cross-community natural hazard management system can be set up, which ensures rapid and coordinated operations during floods and heavy rain. (English)
