Floods in Poland

Priority question for written answer P-001841/2024/rev.1
to the Commission
Rule 144
Jacek Ozdoba (ECR)

In the debate on the impact of the flooding in Central and Eastern Europe that was held on 18 September 2024 during Parliament's plenary session in Strasbourg, Janez Lenarčič, the EU Crisis Management Commissioner, said that the relevant EU bodies had already sent flood warnings to the governments of Member States at risk, including Poland, on 10 September 2024. Those alerts were issued through the Copernicus early warning system. In response to that statement, we have the following questions:

• 1.When exactly did the Commission pass on the first alerts of a flood risk in Poland? On what date and at what time were those alerts relayed?
• 2.Did the Polish Government react to those warnings?
