As a result of persistent frosts, ice phenomena including ice jams have formed on many rivers and water reservoirs, which can cause flooding. Currently, a difficult situation prevails in the section of the Vistula River from the mouth of the Narew River to Płock, where a flood alert has been announced. Ice has also accumulated on Lake Włocławskie and may potentially threaten the dam in Włocławek.

Best wishes for Happy Holidays and a wonderful New Year...

The recent fire of Biebrza National Park has been one of the biggest challenge for rescue services and crisis managements units in Poland for years. More than 5,5 hectares were burnt. During fire service action there were used special planes and helicopters because of hard-to-reach peat and swamp areas. UAVs were used for situation assessment and place of incident documentation.

Experts from the Space Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences used the satellite data to determine the extent of fire in the Biebrza National Park. Observations have shown that the fire area increased eightfold between 20 and 22 April 2020 reaching almost 4200 hectares.
