This is exactly 8 km beeline from my place:

Already up to 100 deaths in Germany with over 1000 people still missing.

Ignoring the devastation in that image... I would absolutely jump at the opportunity to do some swift water training in an environment like that.

These once in a century high water level events seem to be happening closer to every year now. People are getting evacuated in the Netherlands as well despite having raised all the levies after the '93 ' 95 floods. Then peak was 2,750K liters per second, now expected 3,350K to 3,700K liters per second in the Maas.

Predictions weren't pessimistic enough yet in '95, got to raise the levies even more and give the rivers more space.

Is there an engineering solution to possibly mitigate those events? Clearly they did so 20 years ago after raising levies... But obviously that needs to be looked into again.
Because lets face it... The current situation in climate is here to stay, things will not improve, so the world-over needs to be proactive and start mitigating these effects.
