Severe flooding has hit southern Germany, particularly in Bavaria's Landkreis Garmisch-Partenkirchen and the Rosenheim district.

A state of emergency has been declared in Landkreis Rosenheim due to heavy rainfall causing rising water levels in streams and rivers.

Evacuations have been prepared in Rohrdorf, with reports of flooded basements in Bad Feilnbach and Raubling.

Residents are advised to avoid flood-prone areas and stay away from water bodies.

In Rosenheim, the situation remains uncertain with the possibility of reaching high flood alert levels along the Mangfall river.

The district has issued a warning to residents to stay at home due to the high risk of flooding.

The flooding emphasizes the urgent need for climate change awareness and safety regulations amid extreme weather events.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Interior Minister Faeser, and Bavarian Premier Soder have expressed solidarity with those affected and pledged support.

The government is working to provide quick assistance to those in need as firefighters and THW teams mobilize to handle the situation.

Residents are urged to remain vigilant and follow safety guidelines during this challenging time.
