Hristov said that a joint commission from the municipality, together with representatives of the Social Assistance Agency, has begun inspections of the damage in Apriltsi. Affected residents can submit compensation applications on site, after which the level of compensation will be determined depending on the extent of the damage.
He said that more than 15 houses have been affected in Apriltsi. In the village of Cherni Osam in the Troyan municipality, flooded homes have been drained, and damage assessments will begin there on Tuesday.
Teams from Geoprotection – Pleven are expected to inspect a landslide that has formed in the Baba Stana hamlet. Alternative access routes for residents of the hamlet to the village of Oreshak will be considered if the landslide continues to become active, Hristov added.

Financing will also be requested for the reconstruction of two bridges in Apriltsi and one in Debnevo, which were swept away by floodwaters.
