    I thank the disaster management in the affected areas, all the emergency services and the people of Salzburg who are helping others in this emergency. We will not leave anyone in trouble," the governor said.
    Forecasters warn that the rains in Austria will continue, so new flooding of residential areas is possible. Residents are asked to stay at home, not to enter underground garages and stay away from dams.
