In recent weeks, the Czech Republic, and especially the north of Moravia, has been hit by devastating floods, which have left huge damage and, unfortunately, loss of human life. A huge wave of solidarity is now helping all those affected to recover from the worst and gradually rebuild their destroyed homes and other places affected by the floods. Responsible companies immediately offered their material and financial help for the most affected locations, and volunteers from companies helped and are helping with the clean-up in the affected areas.
