After the flood: help for many companies
The floods in September also hit many Lower Austrian companies hard. A local inspection of affected companies shows the extent of the flood damage.
More than 1,000 affected companies, 300 to 900 million euros in damages due to production losses, damaged inventory at companies and operational losses that are indirectly affected via supply chain effects: This is the damage estimate following the devastating floods. Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner and Chamber of Commerce President Wolfgang Ecker recently visited businesses to see the situation for themselves.
Offering companies prospects for the future
It became clear that it is important to offer the affected companies prospects for the future: For example, the Chamber and partners launched an advisory campaign for member companies following the flood disaster. Immediately after the floods, financial support was massively increased. Ecker: "We are helping. The WK-NÖ support fund was doubled with the WKÖ and SVS to up to 40,000 euros per case of damage. We have reserved 30 million euros for this." And Mikl-Leitner emphasizes: "In difficult times, it has been shown that there is a great willingness to help."
