Thousands of people were evacuated during the weekend and an emergency rescuer was killed amid severe flooding in southern Germany, as heavy rains and flooding across two states caused further disruption on Sunday.

Some 3,000 people in Bavaria were evacuated from flooded areas and approximately 20,000 emergency responders are currently being deployed for the numerous rescue operations across Bavaria and neighbouring Baden-Württemberg due to floods after days of continuous rain.

The German Meteorological Service (DWD) said that some regions in southern Germany recorded more than a month's worth of rain within 24 hours.

Kisslegg in the south-western state of Baden-Württemberg recorded 130 millimetres of rain on Friday. The region normally reports 118 mm per month at this time of year.

In Bavaria's Bad Wörishofen, 129mm fell within 24 hours, by comparison with a monthly average of 101mm.

Crawford has mobilised its considerable loss adjusting capabilities across the region, and has been responding to claims that have been notified over the weekend. However, we expect claim notifications to increase as people deal with the clear-up after these devastating floods.
