Situation Report

Date, 7 February 2014

The situation is slightly improving, however protection and rescue units and electro power companies are still working to mitigate the consequences. While the basic living conditions have been provided for most of the population, the disaster will have long term affect, since the damage on infrastructure (roads, electric power lines, railway traffic etc.) and nature is enormous.

All power generators received from foreign countries are in operation in the affected areas and have contributed significantly to mitigate the consequences. Foreign rescue personnel is in addition to their primarily assignment also assisting Slovenian rescuers/fire-fighters in other operational activities. The number of the foreign rescuers in Slovenia is changing daily, since the teams from Germany (Bavaria), Hungary and Croatia left after setting the power generators and additional teams are coming in. Currently, there are 191 rescuers from 6 countries assisting Slovenia.
