Poland is currently struggling with a flood crisis affecting the southern regions. The government has declared a state of emergency.

Unfortunately, four fatalities have already occurred.

Storm Boris is affecting many countries in Central Europe, currently including Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania and Austria. 18 people have sadly lost their lives with several thousand evacuated from their homes.

We hope that professional and commercial communication systems will remain operational for as long as possible. If amateur radio communication is needed, the priority will be VHF/UHF bands.

As the President of the Polish Amateur Radio Association (=SP5E/Krzysztof), I kindly request radio silence on the frequencies 3.760MHz, 7.110MHz, and 14.300MHz, which may also be used. Thank you for your understanding.

The effects of the flooding are also being felt along the river Danube with Slovakia and Hungary already seeing rising river levels.

The rivers Danube, Elbe, Vistula and Oder all have catchments region, and river flooding may be seen more widely across parts of Germany, Poland, Hungary and Romania over the coming days so again, please listen before transmitting in the area of any of the Emergency Centre of Activity frequencies listed above and avoid causing interference to any response activities.

I also encourage supporting organisations helping those affected by the floods – every bit of help is significant and can contribute to a

quicker return to normalcy for many families. Below are links to four major organisations:
