Budapest and Poland’s Wroclaw reinforce river banks ahead of more flooding in Central Europe

With heavy flooding impacting a large part of Central Europe, firefighters and soldiers in Budapest and Poland's Wroclaw have worked to reinforce river embankments.

In some areas, the waters were receding, leaving behind mounds of debris. As reports of looting came in, government and military authorities vowed to crack down on perpetrators. Gen. Wiesław Kukuła, Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Army, said the military was deploying soldiers equipped with night vision and thermal imaging devices to support the police in areas where people had to leave for higher ground.

"Looters, night and lack of electricity will no longer be your ally," he tweeted late Monday.
