Storm Boris has wreaked havoc across Central and Eastern Europe, leading to at least 18 fatalities, primarily in Romania, Poland, Austria, and the Czech Republic. The extreme weather, characterized by unprecedented rainfall and high winds, has resulted in widespread flooding, with thousands evacuated and significant infrastructure damage reported, including broken dams and power outages. In Poland, a state of natural disaster has been declared, allocating around $260 million for relief efforts, while similar emergency measures have been taken in the Czech Republic. Authorities are concerned about the potential for a second wave of flooding as more rain is forecasted, despite some river levels beginning to recede. Experts are linking the increased intensity of such weather events to climate change, highlighting the need for ongoing studies to understand these connections. As communities begin to assess the damage, the emotional and mental health support for affected individuals is becoming a priority for local Red Cross teams.
