Regional authorities leave Luznice 'danger' warning in effect

Authorities in southern Bohemia have decided to leave in effect a danger warning related to recent flooding along the region's Luznice River. Regional governor Jan Zahradnik first declared the alert on March 30th, following extensive floods. Water levels have since receded substantially and the situation has stabilised, but the governor has decided to leave the alert in effect - until close to the end of April. Places that come under the warning include areas around Tabor and Jindrichuv Hradec. The governor indicated on Wednesday that it was still necessary to deal with flood damages in areas hardest hit.
