Balgarianovinite.com The aid payments for the victims of the floods in Strumyani, Ilindentsi, Peshtera and Batak have begun, said the Labour and Social Policy Ministry here on Friday. A one-time payment of up to EUR 1,171 has already been granted to 20 families – 14 in Batak and six in Strumyani and Ilindentsi. So far, the social workers from the Social Assistance Agency have conducted 136 visits to the affected areas, during which they provided 102 application forms and consultations to the affected people. The one-time payment of up to EUR 1,171 is one of the three methods of support, provided by the Labour and Social Policy Ministry. The households whose primary and only home has been damaged can also apply for additional support of EUR 1,550 and up to EUR 1,300 from the Ministry’s Social Protection Fund to purchase essential furniture and equipment. A mandatory condition is that the affected home must have been legally built and occupied, and the applicant must have applied for or been approved for the initial EUR 1,171 payment. The application forms are being reviewed as quickly as possible, so that the affected families can receive their financial support immediately. Alongside the financial support, the Labour and Social Policy Ministry is helping to mitigate the effects of the flooding. Unemployed people from affected municipalities have been hired to clean up and restore the infrastructure – 17 in Batak, 10 in Strumyani and 5 in Peshtera. Their salaries are ensured by the Career without Barriers project, supported by the EU Human Resources Development Programme. A state of emergency had been declared in the municipal centre of Strumyani and the village of Ilindentsi due to the worsening situation following a severe storm and torrential rain late on August 24. The heavy rainfall caused a major surge in the Shashka and Zlinskа rivers. On Thursday, Strumyani Municipality called on volunteers to join the recovery and cleanup efforts, following the flooding, caused by heavy rain. The municipality said that over 300 people from various government institutions, emergency services, specialized units and volunteer groups are participating the rescue and recovery operations.
