Severe storms and catastrophic flooding have devastated Austria, forcing thousands to evacuate their homes or care centers. The whole of Lower Austria was declared a disaster area. Caritas Austria responded immediately, distributing water, food, and food vouchers, providing immediate financial and bridging support, accommodation, and expanding services for those without shelter. Your donation will provide essential supplies and long-term support to families who have lost everything.
Austria has experienced unprecedented storms, torrential rain, and flooding in the past few days, causing rivers to overflow and inundating entire communities. Vast areas are underwater, and the region of Lower Austria has been declared a disaster zone entirely. Thousands of families have evacuated, leaving homes and belongings behind, and many fear for their livelihoods. This crisis has left many vulnerable families in dire need of immediate support.
This project will provide immediate financial support, shelter, food, and essential supplies to flood-affected families in Austria. Caritas is providing urgent assistance through a flood hotline, distribute vouchers for food and water, and offer temporary housing for those displaced. As recovery progresses, Caritas starts supporting rebuilding efforts with financial support, furniture, and everyday essentials, helping families recover and regain stability.
The long-term impact includes supporting families in regaining stability and returning to normality. By providing immediate relief and ongoing support, this project helps restore livelihoods. It ensures vulnerable households recover from the floods, fosters long-term recovery, and reduces vulnerability to similar crises.
