Flood Germany, government will allocate 400 million euros

An aid plan worth 400 million euros, half of which financed by the federal government and half by the Lander. A week after the start of the floods that mainly hit Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine Westphalia, the German government plans to launch a massive aid plan to rebuild the damaged infrastructure and buildings. A reconstruction fund is also planned. A final decision on the amount of this fund will only be made when the extent of the damages in the coming weeks is more precisely established. The government also plans to apply for funding from the EU Solidarity Fund and to establish a joint crisis center to coordinate the work of humanitarian organizations and government agencies.
