Although than Genueński has already passed over Poland on the Żuławy Wiślanych and Wysoczy Elbląska Street there is inactive a submergence. Yesterday in the village of Saint Gaj there was a break in the floodbank. In the morning, repair work began – soldiers from Morąg moved to help. In total, more than a 100 territorialists work in 4 areas of the country in the process of removing the effects of storms.
Military task forces proceed to operate in flood operations. Today, soldiers helped in Goleszów (the action involves 20 soldiers from the 13th Silesian Territorial Defence Brigade), Tolkmick (44 soldiers from the 4th Warmia-Masurian BOT) and Elbląg (18 soldiers from the 4th Warmia-Masurian BOT). In the morning 4 Warmian-Mazurska BOT launched a task force in the village of St.Gaj in the territory of elbląski. Twenty-four territories from the 42nd Light Infantry Battalion of the Sea began to take action in repair work at the damaged flood shaft.
– In Tolkmick and Elbląg, soldiers from the 43rd Border defender Battalion from Braniev proceed the actions they started on Tuesday. They mainly aid to remove mud from the streets and to irritate drains. Today, however, erstwhile the service could begin work on repairing the floodbank in the Holy Gaj, our soldiers from Morąg moved to the action – says Lieutenant Wiesław Zawada, press officer of the 4th Warmia-Mazury Territorial Defence Brigade.
The Dzierzgon River interrupted the flood shaft yesterday at a distance of about 10 metres. The disaster occurred as a consequence of an upturn wave, which, flowing from higher terrain, resulted in an expansion of local canals and narrow rivers in the east part of the Vistula Żuławy. In the area of the village of St.Gaj, the water spilled into the natural polder and thus does not pose a direct threat to people or buildings. However, the power of the river flow was so large that the service could, under safe conditions, begin repair work only after a partial simplification in water level.
The Morag soldiers will aid repair the damaged shaft until decisions are made to disband the military task force in the Holy grove. Polish Waters are liable for securing the damaged section as owner and manager.
