ZAGREB, Nov 8 (Hina) - The situation in the flooded areas of the
Sisak County, especially in the village of Ljubljanica, is still
very difficult, the State Alert Centre reported on Sunday morning.
Rescue teams in boats are trying to evacuate cattle trapped by
water. Other Croatian counties are expected to send in their teams
and technical help during the day.
A water wave yesterday broke through the old dam on the Sava River,
flooding the village and the road Sisak-Trebarjevo-Jezero
Posavsko.
Late last night Sava's water level started falling so that
emergency measures for Ivanic Grad and Martinska Ves (about 30km
east of Zagreb) have been called off and regular measures of defence
introduced.
The road Sisak-Trebarjevo-Jezero Posavsko is still closed for
traffic.
The flood has left the villages of Ljubljanica, Petrovo Polje and
Zircica without power supply.
The water level of the Sava in the Zagreb area is decreasing so that
emergency measures were called off last night and regular
prevention measures were introduced.
The situation in the Karlovac area is beginning to normalise as
well.
