Slovenian community in Canada, the Canadian Slovenian Chamber of Commerce (CSCC), SGZ from Klagenfurt, Austria and many other business institutions and businesspeople around the globe are initiating helping actions to contribute to faster recovery due to the worst-ever natural disaster Slovenia has faced in its history. Devastating floods destroyed roads, bridges, and houses, and, unfortunately, provoked also fatal casualties on past Thursday and Friday. As Prime Minister Golob said, two-thirds of the Slovenian territory has been affected.
The situation is still evolving and there are many rescue efforts in effect. The Slovenian government, along with various agencies and organisations are working tirelessly to address immediate needs and navigate the long-term effects of this disaster.
