Let’s keep the flood discussion in this thread instead of flooding the sub

This post will be pinned for the time being.

FAQ: Are there any live maps?

Hydroportal includes maps that display flooding risk: https://isok.gov.pl/hydroportal.html

IMGW has a map showing river status but may be a tad overloaded as of recently: https://hydro.imgw.pl/

FAQ: What’s the official government information channel?

https://www.gov.pl/web/wody-polskie/aktual

Most recent announcement is from Friday: https://www.gov.pl/web/wody-polskie/zbiorniki-wod-polskich-przygotowane-na-opady

FAQ: But didn’t Warsaw just reach a record low level of Vistula?

Poland has two main rivers: Oder and Vistula. They flooding only affects the Oder Basin District. See

FAQ: Is there anywhere to donate to support humanitarian aid for flood victims?

Siepomaga Foundation has started a fund: https://www.siepomaga.pl/powodzie .

PCK (Polish Red Cross) has started one on zrzutka.pl: https://zrzutka.pl/tf6sjc

Mind that this early into the situation, the actual damage – and the resulting internal displacement of the flood victims – have barely started. If you just toss funds in the vague direction of the problem before having a clear picture of it, you won’t know where these funds will help the most

Be aware that in a situation like this there ALWAYS are people and groups trying to profit from exploiting well-intentioned shmucks. Just because someone claims to be collecting funds for flood victims doesn’t make that true. I’m not saying "don’t help"I’m advising caution.
