  1. Red – areas greatly affected – travelling until mid-October not advised (in the case of Kłodzko County – until the end of October), many detours, many roads and bridges destroyed

    Orange – areas moderately affected – travelling until the end of September not advised, some detours

    Yellow – areas lightly affected – mostly possible to travel with few exceptions made by the local authorities

    Transit through red, orange and yellow areas possible when staying on the motorways

    Dark grey – situation pending, travelling not advised until the end of September, when making transit with motorways – check beforehand if the road is passable

    Medium grey – situation pending, but most probably these areas will not become greatly affected – possible to travel with caution when closer than 1 km to the Oder river (until the end of September)

    Light grey – areas not affected whatsoever by flood, perfectly safe to travel

  2. Fuck man, my friend is in Bielsko – Biała, I checked on them a few days ago and they said its not there yet, but Im growing more concerned now

    Thanks!
    I felt really bad about cancelling my plans to visit a dear friend in the red area. Especially because she told me everything was fine there.
    This map really helps me to put things in perspective.

  4. I assume the answer is No, but could any of this affect air travel out of Krakow airport in the next few days? Thanks.

  5. A bit unrelated but still: does anyone have any information about any help needed in the zone of the flood? I tried to search in Polish Facebook but the majority of what I found was about collecting money and stuff for help, not assisting in the zone itself (unless that’s not needed already)

  6. I’ve been outside of Poland from the last month, but can anyone tell if there is a possibility that Katowice might get flooded?

  7. I actually need to travel from Vienna to Wroclaw on sunday, they told me to avoid the Ostrava access to Poland, as well as the one that goes through Klodzko and Nysa. So I’m left with the one from Kamienna Gora, hoping I’ll be able to make it to the A4 highway trouble-free.

    Otherwise I guess I’d need to go back and reroute from Germany through the highway.

  8. Hi, I am travelling to krakow next week, and I would like to know if it’s safe to visit the old town and auschwitz and drive around there ? Should I cancel my trip ? Thank you.

  9. As a Brit who’s had the pleasure of travelling and spending time in Poland, really hoping (and knowing) that you will all pull through this 👍
