Expert guide: Flood damage - tips on financing and insurance protection in Saxony-Anhalt

According to a report by www.mdr.de, the consumer advice center in Saxony-Anhalt will be offering help to those affected by the flood in the next few days. On-site information sessions on flood damage are planned and various areas will be covered such as insurance, finance, energy and tips on contracts with tradespeople. Information stands are planned in several locations on January 23rd, 2024, and there will be a special advisory day in Sangerhausen on January 30th.

It is important that the consumer advice center informs those affected about the various areas of damage and shows them options for financial support. The fact that a lot of damage to vehicles, mobile homes, garden furniture, heaters and buildings was caused by the flood shows that the financial impact can be serious. The advice and tips on dealing with regional tradesmen are of great importance for those affected, as they have to wait for proper renovation despite long waiting times.

These offers of help can potentially help those affected to cope better with their situation. It is also important that those affected are informed about their rights and options in order to be treated fairly and receive support.

Such information events can also have an indirect impact on the market, as those affected could be forced to use services and renovations, which in turn would increase the demand for regional craftsmen. This could lead to rising prices and longer waiting times, but at the same time it could also stimulate the local economy.
